南投酒廠 OMAR：亞洲烈酒新寵
近年在亞洲地區除了日本之外，台灣威士忌也越來越受到矚目。其中南投酒廠生產的 OMAR 威士忌，可謂是這股風潮中的重要推手。
傳統威士忌產區，如蘇格蘭等地，氣候較冷，酒液熟成速度較慢，需要長時間陳年才能帶出足夠的風味，因此大多數核心款式都需要經過十年以上的時間。然而，台灣位於亞熱帶地區，氣候相對較熱，短時間的陳釀已經能夠媲美高年份的威士忌。這樣的優勢讓南投酒廠可以在較短的時間內實驗各種風味桶，將更多的元素注入酒中，讓OMAR威士忌擁有豐富而獨特的風味。
此外，台灣的風土條件也與歐美產區有很大的不同。在陳年後，OMAR威士忌帶有獨特的熱帶水果香氣，自2014年推出以來已在國際間獲得了無數的獎項和好評，絕對是亞洲烈酒界後起之秀。
OMAR波本花香款式更是超越一般波本桶威士忌的想像，充滿花果香，品飲時回味無窮。OMAR雪莉果乾威士忌更是職人堅持使用非冷凝過濾的方式來保留複雜風味，甜而不膩的口感加上濃郁豐富的成熟芒果、龍眼蜜和梅子蜜餞香氣，口感豐盈，香氣豐富，能夠與中西餐點相得益彰。
OMAR威士忌的出現，為亞洲烈酒界帶來了一股新氣息，也成為了威士忌愛好者和品酒師們必嚐之選。
OMAR: The New Favorite Asian Whisky
In recent years, besides Japan, Taiwanese whisky has become increasingly popular in Asia. Among them, OMAR whiskey produced by Nantou Distillery is an important driving force in this trend.
Traditional whisky production regions like Scotland have a colder climate, which slows down the maturation process of the whiskey. As a result, most core styles need to be aged for more than ten years. However, Taiwan is located in a subtropical region with a relatively warmer climate. Whisky can mature in a shorter time and still produce a comparable flavor to high-aged whisky. This advantage allows Nantou Distillery to experiment with various flavor barrels in a shorter time and inject more elements into the whisky, creating rich and unique flavors.
Moreover, Taiwan's natural environment differs greatly from European and American production regions. After aging, OMAR whisky has a unique tropical fruit aroma. Since its launch in 2014, it has won numerous awards and accolades internationally, making it a rising star in the Asian liquor industry.
OMAR Bourbon Floral is a style that goes beyond the ordinary Bourbon barrel whiskey. It is full of floral and fruity aromas and has an infinite aftertaste when tasted. Pairing with OMAR Sherry Whisky, the craftsmen insist on using non-condensed filtration to preserve the complex flavor. The sweet and non-greasy taste, coupled with the rich and mature mango, longan honey, and plum honey aroma, is full-bodied, rich in aroma, and can complement Chinese and Western cuisine.
OMAR whisky's appearance has brought new vitality to the Asian whisky industry and has become a must-try for whisky lovers and sommeliers. The combination of Taiwan's unique natural conditions and the craftsmen's expertise has produced a whiskey that stands out in the global market, making OMAR a rising star in the world of whisky.
