Ohishi Tokubetsu Reserve Japanese Whisky

This whisky is a very special release of almost equal parts 27-year old 10-year-old, and 7-year-old 36% Ohishi Whisky Sherry Casks. While the older whisky provides depth and structure, the 7 and 10-year-old whiskies give zest and complexity to the final product. 40.5% ABV.

Whisky Advocate 92 points

This is a nuanced delicacy, so tread lightly. It offers a nose of rich apple, oloroso sherry, cranberry, pepper, fennel, star anise, and a touch of milk chocolate. The sherry casks are at play: dark ruby fruits, peppery spice, and cinnamon. The mouthfeel holds steady, with Cola Cubes, stewed blackberry, and apple peels as the spices fall out, ending with cocoa-dusted dried fruits.
