Nantou Distillery is a Taiwanese whisky producer nestled in the mountainous central highlands of Taiwan. Its roots trace back to 1977 (with winery operations beginning around 1978), when the facility — operated by the state-owned Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation — began experimenting with fruit wines, liqueurs, brandy, and blended whisky. Over the decades, Nantou evolved from a regional winery into one of Taiwan's most celebrated whisky distilleries, earning global recognition for its innovative approach to single malt production.
