Over the last few years of sharing drams and exchanging ideas, we realized that our approach to cask selection and our palates were pretty much aligned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis year comes with the perfect milestone- it just happens to be \u003cstrong\u003eCask Le Sens’ 5th anniversary,\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e10th anniversary\u003c\/strong\u003e of Keelung’s ultimate whisky landmark, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Alcohol Bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. To celebrate this special moment, we felt nothing could be more ideal than choosing a peated, smoky Tobermory (Ledaig).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnyone who has been to the Isle of Mull in Scotland will definitely have a deep impression of that row of waterfront colourful houses in Tobermory. This scenery instantly reminds us of the Zhengbin Fishing Port Colourful Houses in Keelung. Both are coastal fishing villages framed by vibrant, colourful buildings. The air is thick with the scent of oyster shells, brine, and the open sea. That salty island sea breeze, mixed with the faint, smoky diesel odour of old fishing boats and harbour mist, shares the same identity whether in Scotland or Keelung. Two small towns thousands of miles apart have miraculously crossed paths through a shared maritime and smoky soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe moment the bottle is cracked open, a thick yet surprisingly gentle wave of ash and peat smoke hits your nose. Right after comes a crisp sea breeze and mineral vibe, accompanied by the savoury brine of shells and oysters—the mouthwatering umami that island whisky lovers adore. The whisky is beautifully layered, carrying a cozy undertone of sweet fruits, while the lightly peat finish lingers on and on. It honestly feels just like sitting by the Keelung harbour at night, watching the distant fishing boat lights fade into the mist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe outturn of this double-anniversary release is strictly limited. This is not just a birthday gift for our two teams; we are leaving it for those who truly understand the sea, fancy a bit of peat, and know the spirit of Keelung.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDistillery: Tobermory Distillery (Peated)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDistilled: 25 May 2010\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBottled: 27 May 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCask: Refill Hogshead #500046\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOutturn: 154\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAbv: 51.9% \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eLabel Design: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fongbai\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFongbai Lin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cask Le Sens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57244954886409,"sku":"CLS-9","price":102.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5707\/2137\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-09at13.27.37.png?v=1786273620","url":"https:\/\/ruiseartspirits.co.uk\/products\/cask-le-sens-9-x-the-alcohol-bar-taiwan-ledaig-2010-16yo","provider":"Ruiseart Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
