Omar Bourbon Cask Finished Single Malt Whisky

OMAR means "amber" in Gaelic, andf the name reflects the elegant amber color in our single malt whisky. The place where Nantou Distillery is located has a pleasant climate and source of pure and unpolluted water which is suitable for the whisky production and maturation. That is why we built the distillery here. The whiskey is non-chill filtrated and bottled without caramel adding.

Omar Bourbon Cask Finished Single Malt Whisky Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes courtesy of ForWhiskeyLovers contributing editor Chrisopher Null

Color: Bright Golden Honey

Aroma:  bold and powerful, with a significant wood impact, an unusual element for Asian single malts. There’s a modest cereal component here, but notes of thick almond nougat and brown sugar temper it considerably

Palate: equally intense and aggressive with a distinctive dark chocolate note, along with a bold baking spice and gingerbread character that kicks into gear soon after.

Finish: Some rustic, slightly ragged granary notes linger on the back end, but there’s so much flavor packed into the body that a bit of greenness is forgivable on the finish. All told, it’s an experience that many single malt drinkers will find familiar — but spun just so in such a way as to be unequivocally unique.
