Nantou is a distillery in Nantou, Taiwan, which was only built in 2008 and went into operation in 2009. Since 2013, various single malt bottlings have been brought to market under the name Omar (Gaelic for amber).
Taiwan is now well known for its versatile whiskies, although it was not until the year 2000 that the whisky industry began to develop in earnest. The climate is not necessarily ideal and leads to faster evaporation of the alcohol, but tropical maturation has actually been turned into an advantage.
