About Ohishi Brandy Single Cask Whisky

Ohishi is a unique family-run distillery situated on the banks of the Kuma River — one Japan’s fastest flowing rivers renowned for its superior water quality. Founded in 1872 the distillery sits in the Southwest of Japan, nestled in an idyllic mountainous countryside. They grow a distinct strain of rice at this majestic distillery called "gohyakumanishi" (5 million stones), using a unique organic style of cultivation that incorporates koi carp.

One of the oldest distilleries in Japan, Ohishi, primarily known for their sake & shochu production, also crafts one-of-a-kind whiskies. The spirit is distilled from 30% estate grown gohyakumanishi, and mochi rice Kumamoto in traditional Japanese stainless steel pot stills before being filled into ex-sherry and brandy casks. Ohishi is aged for extended periods of time in the high altitude warehouses, yielding a harmonious brandy influence.

Ohishi Brandy Single Cask Whisky is a marriage a few hand-selected casks of whisky matured in ex-brandy barrels. The brandy influence imparts elegant notes of soft oak, vanilla, pineapple with just a touch of rancio, complimenting a silky rice complexity.
