Could this be the world’s cheapest whiskey? “Just for Highball” from Koalong Distillery (China, Hunan Province) sells for under $5 USD / ₩5,980 in Korea! At 40% ABV and only 2 years old, this blended grain whiskey is marketed specifically for highballs. But how does it taste neat, with water, and mixed into a Just For Highball Highball?

In this Whiskey Whistle review, Mark explores:
🥃 Tasting notes (neat, water, highball)
🥃 Value for money at just $6
🥃 Koalong Distillery and Chinese whiskey background
🥃 Final Whisky Whistle Score: **/100
🥃File under: Sweet corn, buttery toffee, light vanilla, and a short finish. Not complex, but drinkable — and at this price, maybe the ultimate party whiskey?
Would you try Chinese whiskey for four bucks(₩6000)? Comment below!
