Chinese New Year Pour | Laizhou Sherry Harmony Batch 2 Review

Описание: Laizhou Sherry Harmony Batch 2 was recently crowned Best Chinese Small Batch Single Malt Whisky at the World Whiskies Awards 2026, taking Gold as both the country and category winner.

With Lunar New Year celebrations around the corner, I thought this was the perfect time to review a whisky literally built around the idea of harmony — created from a combination of 10 different first-fill sherry casks, including Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, PX, Moscatel, Palo Cortado and more.

If you’re into rich, sherried single malt with a full bodied profile… keep this one on your radar.
