Ohishi Sherry Cask Whskey 8 year 750 ml

Ohishi Sherry Cask Whisky 8 Year comes from Ohishi Distillery in Kumamoto, Japan, a producer built on the region's rice-shochu tradition rather than the malt-and-grain path most Japanese whisky follows — this expression is distilled from rice and matured for eight years in ex-sherry casks. The sherry wood pushes the spirit toward deep amber, with dried fruit, toasted nut and gentle spice on the nose. The palate is soft and rounded for its age, carrying raisin, baking spice and a touch of oak tannin into a long, mellow finish. It's a whisky for drinkers curious about Japan's rice-based expressions and sherry-cask character rather than the more familiar malt style.

How to drink Ohishi Sherry Cask Whisky 8 Year

Pour it neat in a tulip glass to let the sherry and dried-fruit notes open up, or add a single large cube if you want to soften the oak slightly. It's rich enough to stand up to dessert but easy enough to sip slowly on its own.
