Goalong Vigorous

Goalong Vigorous Edition is a Chinese single malt whisky produced by the Goalong distillery, located in Hunan province. This whisky is the result of blending bourbon and wine casks that have undergone the STR (Shaved, Toasted, Re-charred) method, a technique that extracts more aromas from the wood and adds complexity to the whisky's profile. It is distilled from malted barley and aged in a warm climate, which accelerates the development of aromas.

On tasting, it displays a brilliant golden hue. The nose opens with aromas of dried fruit, honey, and vanilla, accompanied by subtle woody and creamy notes. On the palate, the attack is smooth and balanced, with flavors of caramel, ripe pear, toasted cereals, and a light touch of spice. The finish is supple, medium-length, with a lingering, indulgent taste of fruit and woody sweetness.

Bottled at 40% ABV, Goalong Vigorous is an approachable single malt, ideal for discovering Chinese whisky. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails, and will appeal to enthusiasts looking for a smooth, modern, and well-balanced whisky.
