The Ohishi Port Cask Bottling is a masterful expression of whisky-making craftsmanship that transcends traditional boundaries. This unique whisky is aged in carefully selected port casks, imparting rich, fruity notes and a velvety texture that complement its inherent elegance. The marriage of Ohishi's meticulously grown rice and the pure waters of the Kuma River sets the foundation for this exceptional spirit.
Upon the first sip, aromas of dried fruits, ripe cherries, and subtle spices envelop the senses. The palate reveals intricate layers of toffee, dark chocolate, and a whisper of oak, culminating in a beautifully balanced finish that lingers with hints of sweet red wine and a touch of nuttiness. This special bottling encapsulates the essence of Japanese whisky, blending innovation and tradition through six generations of family expertise.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance:: A rich amber hue with deep ruby reflections, suggesting a layered complexity.
Nose:: The bouquet opens with inviting aromas of ripe red berries, particularly cherries and plums, intertwined with a subtle essence of dark chocolate. Hints of vanilla and caramel emerge, complemented by a light dusting of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, all underpinned by the unmistakable sweetness of port.
Palate:: On the palate, the whisky is silky and smooth. Flavors of dried fruits, such as figs and raisins, dominate, enhanced by a creamy mouthfeel. The port cask influence introduces notes of toffee and honey, alongside a gentle nuttiness reminiscent of toasted almonds. A delicate touch of oak balances the sweetness, adding depth to the overall profile.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, echoing the rich fruitiness with lingering notes of spice and a hint of earthy undertones. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving a pleasant dryness that invites another sip.
