Ondjaba The Namibian Whiskey - Bourbon & Sherry Style Finish

Special features: Ondjaba The Namibian Whiskey is made from malted pearl millet that is dried over elephant dung. This whiskey matures in red wine barrels and receives a finish in fortified Chenin casks in the "Sherry Style." With an alcohol content of 51%, this single grain whiskey is not chill-filtered and shows a natural color. It offers a smoky aroma that emphasizes its uniqueness and is typical for this whiskey.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A blend of sweet dark cherry and burnt rubber opens the bouquet, followed by gentle smoky notes reminiscent of slightly damp peat. Dark dried fruits like dates and plums mingle with spicy herbs, while subtle oak notes bring a pleasant depth.
• Palate: A rich, spicy entry with nutty aromas transitions to full grain notes on the palate, accompanied by lingering, subtle smoke that is perfectly rounded off with fruity flavors. Additionally, a sweet impression of ripe black cherry unfolds, followed by robust herbal aromas and a hint of black tea.
• Finish: Medium-long with lingering sweet notes of dark fruits, accompanied by spicy herbs and a touch of red wine. The smoke remains subtle in the background, while a slight bitterness from oak and a final hint of burnt rubber slowly fade away.

Distillery/Bottler: Ondjaba is a Namibian whiskey brand produced by the Erongo Mountain Winery. The whiskey combines malted pearl millet, wheat, and corn that ripen under the intense sun of Namibia. These climatic conditions contribute to the special depth of flavor and aroma of the whiskey.
