About this bottle
Ohishi Port Cask is a Japanese rice whisky from the Ohishi family's distillery in Kumamoto, on the island of Kyushu — a rare style, since almost all Japanese whisky is malt or grain-based, not rice. The family has distilled rice shochu for decades and applies that base spirit to whisky-style maturation, here finished in casks that previously held port wine. The port cask adds dried fruit and a faint red-wine sweetness on top of the rice spirit's naturally soft, slightly nutty character. It's a distinctive style rather than a Scotch-style dram, closer in texture to a light, fruity grain whisky than a malt. Worth seeking out for drinkers who want something genuinely different from the usual Japanese whisky lineup.
How to drink Ohishi Port Cask
Pour it neat to catch the port cask's dried-fruit sweetness against the rice spirit's soft base. It's gentle enough to also work well slightly chilled, which is how rice-based spirits are often served in Japan.

How should I drink Ohishi Port Cask?
Neat or with a splash of water in a tulip glass — the port-cask finish adds enough fruit and sweetness that it doesn't need mixing.
What is Ohishi Port Cask made from?
Rice, distilled and finished in casks that previously held port wine, which is where its fruit-forward, slightly sweet character comes from — a distinct style from grain- or malt-based whiskies.
Is Ohishi a Scotch or a rice whisky?
It's a Japanese rice whisky. Ohishi Distillery, based in Kumamoto, is better known for shochu and applies that rice-distilling background to whisky production.
