Ohishi 8 Year Sherry Cask Whisky

Fantastic, rich nose with almond, plum, pear, vanilla, and sherry; almond, oak, sherry body that is tasty, but not as good as the nose; pretty dry; fairly thin; smooth; short finish with sherry, oak, and some vanilla; overall a fantastic sherry aged whisky, though quite dry

Nose- creamy caramel, sweet fruits, malty grain cereals, peppery, not getting any smokiness. Taste- sherry, oak, shortbread cookies, hints of floral. Finish- shortish with some sweet fruitiness. Easy but not particularly complex to me.

My favorite of the 3 Flaviar japanese sampler

Second rice whisky that I’ve tried and I’ve enjoyed both. Smooth and sweet, almost hit me as a butterscotch flavor initially. Vanilla and sherry more evident upon further sips with fruit/spice finish. Definitely enjoyable.
