About OMAR
OMAR is Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation's single malt whisky brand, produced through the company's Alcoholic Beverages Division as part of a spirits portfolio that also includes gin and traditional Kaoliang-style liquors. It is TTL's entry into the premium whisky category that Taiwan's subtropical climate has made internationally competitive, sold alongside the company's much older Kaoliang and rice-wine lines that date back to the tobacco and alcohol monopoly era.

About the owner: TTL
TTL is a state-owned company headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, founded in 2002. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control.
Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation traces an unbroken line back to the Japanese colonial-era Taiwan Monopoly Bureau of 1898, through its postwar reorganisation as the Taiwan Province Tobacco and Wine Public Monopoly Bureau, to the abolition of Taiwan's tobacco and alcohol monopoly system on 1 January 2002 and the bureau's corporatisation as Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation, a joint-stock company, on 1 July 2002. It has been wholly owned by Taiwan's Ministry of Finance since the bureau was transferred to the central government on 1 July 1999. TTL still runs the beer and spirits business it inherited from the monopoly era through a dedicated Beer Division operating four breweries — in Taipei, Zhunan, Wuri and Shanhua — and an Alcoholic Beverages Division running nine distilleries, alongside tobacco, biotechnology and VINATA-branded cosmetics operations outside this dataset's scope.
