Nantou Distillery
The Nantou Distillery Malt Whisky Distillation Plant was established in 2008 and currently has three malt storage tanks, one malt grinder, one saccharification tank, eight fermentation tanks and four pot stills. Because the weather in Taiwan is too hot to be suitable for the growth of barley, it is necessary to purchase two-sided barley malt from Scotland every year, and the germination and baking are completed in Scotland. On the other hand, because Taiwan is too hot in summer, we can only produce whiskey from October to April every year. Although peat-smoked malt is currently used as the raw material for the production of malt whisky, peat-smoked malt has been purchased in 2014 to increase the flavors of our malt whiskey.
