Product details
Experience the artistry of Japanese whisky with Ohishi 10 Years Brandy Cask Japanese Whisky, a refined expression from the Ohishi Distillery in Mizukami, Japan. Crafted from a meticulous blend of estate-grown and locally sourced malted and unmalted grains, this rice whisky undergoes a unique 21-day fermentation process before being distilled in stainless steel pot stills. Aged for 10 years in ex-brandy casks, the whisky harmoniously marries the elegance of Ohishi’s distillate with the richness of French oak and the subtle influence of residual brandy, creating a sophisticated and layered profile.
On the nose, this whisky reveals notes of wet leather, cherry, prune, and dried mushroom, offering an enticing prelude to its soft, oily palate. Flavors of pear, cherry, molasses, and Oloroso sherry unfold gracefully, leading to a drying finish accented by oak, sea salt, and red apple skin. Bridging the gap between Ohishi’s distinctive rice whisky style and the depth of a fine Brandy de Jerez, Ohishi 10 Years Brandy Cask is a testament to the distillery’s innovation and tradition. Perfect for connoisseurs seeking a whisky with character, balance, and a touch of Japanese elegance.
