The name Ondjaba comes from the Oshiwambo language and means "elephant". For our editions we use various grains such as corn, barley, wheat, rye and mahangu (pearl millet), smoked over elephant dung. The whiskey then matures under the Namibian sun in a range of casks — including our own former wine and fortified-wine casks, bourbon casks and new oak casks. Our goal is a world-class whiskey with an unmistakably Namibian character — not a copy of Scotch or Irish whisky, but a distinct taste experience of its own. Maturing at over 1,200 metres altitude with strong temperature swings shapes its special character even further.

Take the time to explore and savour the soul of these fine whiskies. Close your eyes as the result of years of reflection meets your senses, and the magic of memories with these special people is expressed once more.
