Hey Seán, adding to what you were saying about liquid honey, there is a reason whiskey is granddad's cough medicine. Honestly if you DO add a little honey & sip it, works better than any cough syrup. I have a feeling this is redundant since you're Irish but some would consider putting honey in their whiskey a little sacrilegious.

Fun facts from a Taiwanese person! 1:05 Yushan translates to "Jade Mountain" and is the highest mountain in Taiwan. 3:06 Kavalan is made in Yilan County and is named after the ancestral name 噶瑪蘭 or "Kavalan." The indigenous Kavalan people who used to occupy that area are still a recognized tribe in Taiwan today. Kavalan whisky is very popular in Taiwan and abroad. In Yilan (where my father's family is from) there are quite a few Kavalan whisky stores. 3:10 Yes, that is an outline of Taiwan. They say that Taiwan shaped like a sweet potato which we call "hanji."

Kavalan has won multiple international awards for their Soloist version, a slightly more up market version of the concertmaster. They're incredibly well respected in the whiskey world. My goto drink is Ardbeg, but that concertmaster is my favorite unpeated whiskey.
I mean it's an alcohol video and Ciara's in it.. what's not to like about it? Plus Martin's expertise is just on point every Whisky video

The Queen is in the building. Bring the booze!
Martin abstaining from rating them a 10 is the best thing I've ever seen. Solidifying his spot as my favorite tryer, right next to Justine.
Ok, you guys know your audience. I was 10 seconds in and as soon as I heard 'whiskey' my immediate thought was "If Martin's not in this one, we riot!" About 5 seconds later his face appeared and I was pacified.
Yushan = Yu Shan, which translates as Jade (Yu) Mountain (Shan). It's the highest peak in Taiwan.
My name is Sherri... so hearing them say “Sherry” over and over again in their Irish accents made me so happy!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I work in the US, with a remote team from Taiwan. You darned well better believe I'm sending this to them!
The way Donal absolutely shorts out while everyone else is complimenting the second whisky had me bent over snorting with laughter. He's such a good sport for what he puts up with.
Sean keeping up with Martin's taste AND humor. Good combo.
Martin’s influence on Sean made him a better man. 10/10.
"This is the hug I've been missing for the last 9 months." yes!
If Martin thinks it’s a 10, it’s a winner to me. Great spokesman for whiskey.

the Taiwan icon on the Ka Va Lan is indeed the island. People joke its shaped like a "Sweet Potato." In some parts of Taiwan, calling someone a sweet potato could be considered an insult (if delivered in the Taiwanese dialect, not Mandarin)

Eadaoin and Ciara on the same screen? be still my heart!
Kavalan is produced in the Yilan region of Taiwan. Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Also, Taiwan is often referred to as having the shape of a sweet potato (very popular food item there), which is what I guess you're seeing on the box. Thanks for giving Taiwan whisky some love!
I love the pairing of Eadaoin and Ciara. They seem to be good friends.

I feel like we don't get enough of Sean Colin and Kelly. But when we do, it tastes nice
I'm based in Taiwan and I can agree that Kavalan is a more popular brand. Honestly I haven't seen Yushan being sold so far (perhaps in a specialty store), but Kavalan can be found everywhere, even the local 7 11
Kavalan!!! I’m so glad you guys got to try that stuff. It’s just such wonderful whiskey! The Soloist is my GOAT!
The best part of this video is seeing Clara O Doherty finally being affected by the alcohol. She is human after all.

Yushan, translated from traditional chinese, means "Jade Mountain". Yu refers to nephrite jade in chinese language.
I picked up a bottle of Kavalan in Taiwan: it's so much better than the export version....I think they save the best for themselves (I can't fault them for it!).
There needs to be a long Martin reviews whiskey video, possibly with co-host Dermot or other guests. More-so than the Whiskey advent calendar.
I love this channel.
Donal Duck's sneezing was adorable.
Martin the Whiskey legend! I don't think I've ever seen him do a a whiskey tasting with Ciara ! That would be fun!
Martin' first official 10/10 of the video post edit was at 10:16... I think I cried a little
love these videos!!!
Sean, you’re not old enough to remember “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”! Donal, your sneeze is so adorable!
More Martin ! Where's Brian ? Best drinking team ever !

Yushan is the highest mountain 🏔 on Taiwan at 3,952 m (12,966 ft) above sea level.
