Omar Whisky Bourbon Type Single Malt Whisky 700ml Bottle

Tonight, I’m back in Taiwan (virtually) for another dram produced by the Omar distillery, the only non-state-owned distillery in Taiwan (Kavalan being the state-owned distillery). After being very impressed by their sherry cask, I had to give the bourbon cask a sip. It opens with pear, citrus zest, and honey, followed by apple, vanilla, and milk chocolate. The legs are tick and clingy, delivering a long finish of balanced vanilla sweetness and citrus zest, then, on the very backend, smoke. It is much lighter than the sherry cask, making a perfect warmer-season, colder-season duo for year-round drinking 😊. Drink slow, drink long, drink a variety, drink often.
