The Ohishi Port Cask Whisky is a captivating Japanese expression that artfully blends tradition with innovation. Distilled entirely from locally grown rice and cut with the pristine waters of the Kuma River, this whisky is then finished in carefully selected port casks, adding depth, fruitiness, and a silky texture that elevate its character. The result is a spirit that showcases both the elegance of Japanese craftsmanship and the lush sweetness imparted by port wine aging.

Sensory Description:
In the glass, the whisky gleams amber with ruby reflections. The nose reveals ripe red berries, plums, and cherries, laced with hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, and warm baking spices. On the palate, a silky texture carries flavors of figs, raisins, toffee, and toasted almonds, accented by a gentle oak structure. The finish is long and warming, echoing fruit, spice, and a touch of earthy dryness that keeps it balanced and inviting.

Distiller's Background:
Founded in 1872, Ohishi Shuzo has been family-run for six generations, rooted in the village of Mizukami-mura at the foot of Mt. Ichifusa. Known originally for shochu production, the distillery is celebrated today for pioneering Japanese rice whisky. Using estate-grown rice and sustainable farming methods, including koi fish to manage weeds in the paddies, Ohishi ensures purity from grain to glass. Master Distiller Kazunori Oishi oversees the process, aging whiskies in sherry, brandy, and port casks to bring nuance and innovation to every bottling.
Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat to experience its full range of flavors, or with a splash of water to highlight its fruity sweetness and spice. On the rocks, it reveals a creamier, nuttier profile, while its port-driven richness makes it a luxurious choice for refined whisky cocktails. Pair with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or cured meats for an elevated tasting experience.
The Ohishi Port Cask Whisky is a masterfully finished spirit that balances lush fruit, velvety sweetness, and Japanese elegance, an unforgettable dram for both seasoned connoisseurs and adventurous newcomers.
