From the sherry-cask-aged bottlings to rare single casks, Ohishi delivers a delicate yet expressive style of Japanese whisky.

Unlike other whiskies which have their production techniques firmly rooted in the Scotch single malt tradition, Ohishi utilizes malted and unmalted rice in lieu of malted barley. Rice can’t be malted in the same way as barley, so “malted” in this context often refers to rice innoculated with kome-koji, a mold also used in sake production. Specifically, gohyakumanishi rice is married with mochi rice in the mash bill, with the former grown while using koi fish as a form of chemical-free weed eradication.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-descr-row width-part\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"JVS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31671886315586,"sku":"","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0363\/8621\/files\/E8D159C7-C2C4-4664-9D69-CD39763C0E3D_1_201_a.jpg?v=1714171205"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0363\/8621\/collections\/Ohishi_Japanese_Whisky.png?v=1744818786","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwellswines.com\/collections\/ohishi-japanese-whisky\/japanese-whiskey.oembed","provider":"Blackwell's Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
