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.

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