Comments: 

First Chinese single malt whisky for me! It’s from 高郎distillery, but appears to have been branded ‘Goalong’ for English speakers. Quite lactic, with a grassy, herbal edge. Some fruit appears, and sweet barley sugar notes. It’s decent, shows promise, and has clearly been aged in a warmer climate than Scotland.

Verdict:

I like this.
