Ondjaba - Signature Edition #2 - Namibian Single Malt - 0.7L

Ondjaba Signature Edition #2 – The Wild Soul of Namibia in a Glass

Behind Ondjaba Signature Edition #2 lies a production process that leaves little to chance and much to experience – boldly pushing the boundaries of the traditional whiskey world. At the Erongo Mountain Winery, a whiskey is created that consistently derives its identity from the raw materials of its homeland: The base is a triple grain, refined by the use of Mahangu millet, a traditional Namibian grain. The true secret lies in kilning the malt over burning elephant dung – a natural, African substitute for classic peat, which creates a subtle, earthy smoke note. Matured under the extreme climatic conditions of Namibia in virgin oak, red wine, and brandy casks, this drop earned the distillery the title "Africa Whiskey Distillery of the Year 2024".

Taste Experience

In the glass, the Signature Edition #2 presents itself in a deep, rich russet brown. The bouquet captivates with striking nutty notes of roasted Mahangu grain, accompanied by warm oak, a hint of vanilla, and a fine, almost ethereal smoke reminiscent of dry, sun-baked wood. On the palate, a creamy, full-bodied texture unfolds – the spicy depth of the oak meets the subtle sweetness of dried fruits, before a long-lasting, aromatic finish rounds off the sensory experience.
