Everrich Duty Free launches exclusive Kinmen Kaoliang and OMAR whiskies
The travel retailer says it is redefining the airport retail experience by unveiling spirits that showcase the Taiwan’s craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation
Everrich Duty Free – “a cultural ambassador at Taiwan’s Gateway" – is redefining the airport retail experience by unveiling new expressions that showcase the island’s craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation.
The new launches include the Kinmen Kaoliang Ever Reserve 9-Year-Old, and the limited-edition OMAR Single Cask whisky collection, which is a global exclusive.
The travel retailer notes The Spirits Business ‘Spirits Trends to Watch in 2025’ report which indicates that consumers are increasingly drawn to authenticity and emotional resonance, favoring brands that highlight heritage, craftsmanship, and responsibility through storytelling.
The Ever Reserve expression, created with Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor Inc., represents Taiwan’s sorghum distilling tradition. Aged for nine years in Kinmen’s historic underground pit cellars, the spirit reflects the island’s natural terroir and dedicated craftsmanship. Its sleek black and gold feather design is inspired by migratory journeys, symbolizing the spirit of departure, reunion, and the enduring warmth of Taiwan – an embodiment of cultural memory rather than a festive gift.
Strengthening its collaboration with Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation’s Nantou Distillery, Everrich is debuting three limited OMAR whiskies. This collection includes Taiwan’s first Peated Malt Bourbon Cask, a Sherry Cask edition rich with dried fruits and toffee, and an innovative Orange Brandy Barrel Finished. The travel-themed packaging, drawing from passports, maps, and postcards, speaks to the global mobility of today’s travelers while anchoring each bottle in Taiwan’s unique landscapes.
“Everrich is more than a retailer; we are an ambassador of Taiwan’s culture and creativity at the nation’s gateways,” Everrich Duty Free stated. “By curating exclusive spirits with strong cultural narratives, we connect Taiwan’s heritage with global travelers and align with the industry’s trend toward storytelling, authenticity, and locally rooted innovation.”
Both the Ever Reserve and OMAR collections are now available exclusively at Everrich Duty Free shops across Taiwan’s major airports.
