It has been a long time since we last felt this atmosphere.

At our stand at the Whisky Fest Takao 2022 held on the 24th and 25th December, we were surrounded by chatters in English and Japanese. Visitors from all over the world including Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Germany came to us to do tastings. Passionate conversations on liquor were exchanged. The glowing eyes of enjoyment when drinking one’s favourite dram is a universal body language that needs no translation.

This year’s exhibition happened during Christmas time, our two Christmas releases were naturally the most popular orders. Other than them being absolutely delicious, how fitting to be drinking Christmas releases during Christmas! Our newly signed rum brand The Colour of Rum received plenty of interest, some visitors actually tried all 13 releases from start to finish, their response was overwhelming.

A few visitors told us they plan to taste only whisky on the first day and only rum on the second day, this way they can focus on one type of spirit per day. How exciting! This means as our rum selections grow larger, they have become more attractive. Perhaps a “rum age” is finally coming in Taiwan? We cannot wait!

Whisky Fest Takao is always full of passion and excitement, see you all next year!
