Overview

More Info

Sip something new from Kumamoto, Japan, where fifth-generation shochu maker Ohishi Distillery turns rice into whisky. This single-distilled spirit spends five to six years resting in ex-Cognac and ex-Oloroso sherry casks before a finish of a year or more in local Sakura oak, taking on a pale rose-gold hue and a bouquet of cherry blossom, strawberry, and stone fruit. Expect a palate of vanilla icing and warm spice with a soft, lingering finish. Pour neat for an evening that calls for something quietly unusual.
Gluten Free
Tasting notes

Crème brûlée and soft fruit notes on the nose. The palate is custard, spice, floral, and sweet red fruit. The finish lingers with notes of spice and more creamy custard. There’s a very distinct cherrywood sawdust note, in the most pleasant way.
