Ohishi Sherry Cask Japanese Whisky 750ml Bottle

Experience Ohishi: Artisanal Japanese Whisky Crafted from Estate-Grown Rice

Since 1872, Ohishi has pioneered a unique approach to whisky-making rooted in Japanese tradition. We cultivate over 30% of our prized Gohyakumanishi rice ourselves, embracing organic principles – even employing Koi fish for natural weed control instead of herbicides. Distilled meticulously in our stainless steel stills, the pure spirit (uncut shochu) is then entrusted to exceptional ex-Sherry or ex-Brandy casks for patient maturation until peak perfection.

A Sensory Journey for the Discerning Palate:

• Nose: Immerse yourself in an elegant bouquet of toasted oak and subtle ash, harmonizing with rich nuttiness and hints of dried dark fruit & leather. Bright citrus notes and grainy sweetness emerge, lifted by a delicate peppery spice that promises unfolding complexity.
• Palate: Prepare for an exquisite “sherry bomb” experience bursting with intense flavors: luscious vanilla, vibrant citrus peel, deep dried fruits (think raisins and figs), and oily roasted nuts. Layers of distinctive ash and oak intertwine with an intriguing sweetness, all balanced by that signature peppery warmth hinting at further evolution.
• Finish: Savour a remarkably long and satisfying conclusion dominated by rich sherry influences, elegantly fading with whispers of dark cocoa, lingering dark fruit essence, ash, and warming spice.
