Omar

• Distillery: Nantou Distillery
• Location: Nantou
• Owner: Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation
• Founded: The distillery has been in existence for some time, but whisky production began around 2008
• Special feature:
  • Omar is Nantou’s single malt whisky range
  • Maturation occurs more quickly due to Taiwan’s warm and humid climate
  • Known for fruity, rich flavours and the use of various cask types (bourbon, sherry, wine)

💡 Fun fact: Due to the tropical climate, whisky matures much faster in Taiwan than in Scotland, resulting in intense flavours at a relatively young age.
