Omar Single Malt Sherry 70cl
Brand: Omar (Nantou Distillery) | Category: Single Malt Whisky | ABV: 46% | Origin: Taiwan | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Deep and warming, with notes of dried figs, red berries, dark chocolate, and a hint of maple glazed nuts. It’s like opening a spice box in a pastry shop, rich, comforting, and unmistakably sherried.
Palate: Bold and velvety. Bursting with stewed prunes, caramelized sugar, cinnamon, and a twist of orange peel. The tropical aging lends it extra weight and ripeness, sweet but never cloying.
Finish: Long and layered. A pleasant fade of oak spice, dried fruit, and a lingering maltiness that feels both warming and refined.

Production Details
Crafted by Nantou Distillery, one of Taiwan’s few official whisky makers, this single malt is aged in Oloroso sherry casks in the subtropical climate of central Taiwan. The warm temperatures accelerate maturation, enhancing richness and oak integration. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% for full flavor delivery.

Perfect For
Fans of Macallan-style sherry bombs looking for something fresh, bold, and off the beaten path. Ideal for after-dinner pours, blind tastings, or gifting to the adventurous whisky drinker.

Expert Notes
Omar whiskies have quietly earned praise from critics for delivering incredible quality at a fair price point. This sherry cask edition showcases how tropical maturation can supercharge flavor and structure, think GlenDronach meets Kavalan.
