Portrait: What Makes Ondjaba The Namibian Whiskey - Gravino Cask Finish Special
Ondjaba The Namibian Whiskey is not just another product on the whisky market; it is the result of the remarkable journey undertaken by Wolfgang and Esther Koll, who have established a unique whisky culture in Namibia. This whisky embodies the spirit of Namibia, crafted from local ingredients at an impressive altitude of 1,226 meters above sea level. The name Ondjaba, meaning "Elephant," reflects its connection to nature and the unique wildlife of the country.
What makes this whisky truly special is its innovative production method that links the grain with the environment. The use of elephant dung for smoking the grain imparts a distinctive note reminiscent of sweet cigars. Furthermore, the whisky undergoes maturation in casks previously used for Gravino, an exceptional liqueur wine, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the final product.
