Product details
Ohishi Brandy Cask Japanese Whisky is a testament to the legacy of Ohishi Distillery, founded in 1872 in the scenic, mountainous countryside of Southwest Japan. Located near the pristine Kuma River, renowned for its superior water quality, Ohishi has been a family-owned business for five generations, traditionally producing sake and shochu. This exquisite whisky is distilled entirely from rice, with 30% of the grain estate-grown and the rest sourced from the fertile Kumamoto prefecture. The distillery uses sustainable methods like employing koi fish to maintain their rice paddies, ensuring both a high-quality crop and an eco-friendly approach. Ohishi Whisky is aged in either Brandy or Sherry casks, with the Brandy Cask variety aged for up to 30 years in ex-Cognac barrels, offering a unique expression of Japanese craftsmanship.
Golden in color with a hint of straw, Ohishi Brandy Cask Aged Whisky is as refined as it is complex. Its aroma is sweet and warming, inviting you into a rich sensory experience. On the palate, you’ll discover a harmonious blend of candied orange, white flowers, light caramel, fennel, and delicate baking spices. Medium-bodied with an oily texture, the whisky delivers a smooth, lingering finish, leaving behind a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this whisky captures the essence of Japan's natural beauty and artisanal heritage.
