Ohishi

Ohishi Distillery produces Japanese whisky using rice as the primary grain, creating distinctive expressions that differ from traditional malt and grain whiskies. Located in Japan, the distillery combines traditional Japanese brewing techniques with whisky production methods for unique flavor development.

Ohishi whiskies showcase the characteristics of rice-based distillation, offering smooth textures and clean flavor profiles distinct from barley or corn-based spirits. The distillery employs both pot stills and column stills to create different styles, with aging in various oak types contributing complexity. Their expressions often feature delicate fruit and floral notes alongside subtle spice and oak influences, representing the growing diversity of Japanese whisky production beyond traditional styles.
