Honey, pears, minerality, Smarties, vanilla taffy, rice sweetness, peat and a bit of malty sweetness and clove.

Minerality, pears, honey, peat, vanilla taffy, butter, menthol and sake-like sweetness with a touch of spice and tropical fruit.

Long smoky fade of fruit, vanilla taffy and minerality.

OVERALL:
Ohishi Islay Cask Finish is some unique stuff. Seriously, it’s unlike any other Islay or Islay cask aged / finished whisky I’ve had, it’s remarkable what happens to that rice spirit in the Islay cask. The mineral aspect reminds me of a young Laphroaig but with less smoke and a bit more balance and elegance
