You read that right, lychee. This is where tradition takes a sharp, elegant turn. The Omar Lychee Liqueur Cask Finish is one of the most daring single malts to come out of Asia. Finished in casks that once held intensely aromatic lychee liqueur, this bottle offers a whisky experience like no other, fragrant, fruit-forward, and astonishingly complex.

ABV: 54% | Origin: Taiwan | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Lychee blossom, rose petals, white peach, and a splash of orange water, like walking into a tropical tea house at sunrise.
Palate: Silky and expressive. Layers of honeydew, jasmine, vanilla cream, and lychee syrup ride on warm malt and delicate spice.
Finish: Long and floral. Echoes of fruit nectar and toasted almond linger with a touch of tannin from the liqueur cask.

Production Details
