Ondjaba Gravino The Namibian Triple Grain Whiskey

Volume: 0.7 liters | Alcohol content: 46% | Not chill-filtered | No coloring

Description

Not a copy of Scottish or Irish whiskeys, but rather something completely unique from the original ingredients of their adopted homeland: that's what Wolfgang and Esther Koll have achieved. The German couple run the Erongo Mountain Winery in Namibia - and produce the first whiskey in the African coastal state at 1,226 meters above sea level.

Ondjaba is the name of Namibia's whisky premiere. Or: "elephant" in the language of the Ovambo, the largest ethnic group in Namibia. The proboscis animal makes the smoky whisky unique in the world. The grain for Ondjaba is smoked over elephant dung, which enriches it with a sweet scent reminiscent of cigars. Also typical for Namibia: Mahangu. This type of millet has been cultivated by the local population for thousands of years and is a main ingredient in Ondjaba.

The Ondjaba Gravino Cask Finish was rounded off by maturing in barrels that previously contained Gravino, the house's own port-like liqueur wine. If you remove the leather cork, you will discover a rich fruity note in addition to the characteristic spiciness and sweetness.
