About

A unique Japanese whisky made from rice rather than barley, produced by the Ohishi family in Kumamoto. Aged in sherry casks. While technically a rice based spirit aged in wood, its classification and JSLMA compliance as "whisky" is debatable since Japanese whisky regulations focus on malted grain.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich dried fruit, sherry sweetness, rice, caramel, and a unique grain character

Palate

Distinctive with sherry influenced sweetness, rice pudding, dried fruit, toffee, and a velvety texture

Finish

Long with lingering sherry sweetness, rice, and gentle warmth

How to Enjoy

Neat or with a few drops of water. A truly unique tasting experience.
