Chinese whiskey
Whiskey isn’t the first thing that comes to mind for most people think of when they think of Chinese cuisine, but Taiwan’s King Car company (which is based in Yilan County) has put a great deal of effort into developing a whiskey industry.
The product has won several awards (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/expatnews/7071737/Taiwan-whisky-beats-Scotch-in-blind-taste-test.html), despite being aged only three years (instead of the typical minimum 12 years).
How does it taste? Well, I’m no expert, but it tastes good to me. I’ll bring back a bottle to Michigan, and whoever is interested can join a tasting party. Is anyone interested?
I’m in!
