Yeah, so as cleverly stated, the Taiwanese are from Taiwan and are not to be confused with the Thai of Thailand. I can't say they do something differently, they're not reinventing the wheel, but it is well crafted and has won several awards. Since most people might not think of Taiwan, or even Japan, when it comes to whisky, I think they're doing something right when they beat out brands from Ireland, Scotland, etc. I got a private tasting at their distillery and was pretty impressed. Taiwan is a very different climate from Ireland/Scotland, so they had brought people in from there to teach them how to go through the whole process and adapt to these circumstances so they could produce a top of the line product. They make a couple different whiskeys that were all top notch, and the tasting was very informative. Unfortunately, it is harder to find in the states and pricey compared to others. But tasty.
