Goalong STR Wine Cask Single Malt

Goalong Distillery presents an award-winning single malt whisky from China's Hunan Province. This STR Wine Cask bottling combines traditional copper pot distillation with contemporary techniques, making it a distinctive release in the emerging Chinese whisky landscape.

Production Details

Matured in STR Wine Cask (Shaved, Toasted, Re-charred) and bottled at a robust 56% ABV, this whisky showcases Goalong's commitment to quality. Founded in 2017, the distillery sources locally grown grains including barley, rice, and wheat. Hunan Province's warm, humid subtropical climate accelerates maturation, allowing the whisky to develop deeper colour and fuller flavours more rapidly than spirits produced in cooler regions.

Tasting Profile

The nose reveals leafy and vanilla notes alongside dried spices, red berries, and aged oak. The palate delivers citrus, caramel, and toffee with peppery spice, dried herbs, and blackcurrant. The finish lingers with toffee, pepper, dried spices, and red berries.

Collector's Appeal

This release appeals to whisky enthusiasts exploring innovative productions from emerging whisky regions. At £194.95 per 70cl bottle, it represents an intriguing opportunity for collectors seeking to expand their understanding of Chinese whisky craftsmanship and terroir-driven flavour development.
