Shibui Small Batch Sherry Cask Single Grain 8 year 750ml

Experience the rich elegance of Shibui Small Batch Sherry Cask Single Grain 8 Year 750ml, an award-winning Japanese single grain whisky crafted exclusively in Okinawa, Japan. Produced from premium Indica long-grain rice, this whisky showcases Okinawa's centuries-old distilling heritage while embracing modern Japanese whisky craftsmanship.

Distilled, matured, and bottled entirely in Okinawa, the whisky is aged for 8 years in 100% Fino and Manzanilla sherry casks. Unlike many sherry-finished whiskies, this expression receives its entire maturation in sherry-seasoned oak, allowing the casks to impart remarkable depth with layers of baked fruit, toasted oak, vanilla, and spice while preserving the delicate character of the rice-based spirit.

Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Shibui 8 Year opens with aromas reminiscent of grilled pineapple, vanilla ice cream, and toasted oak. The palate develops rich flavors of Bananas Foster, grilled pineapple, caramelized sugar, sweet baking spice, and gentle oak, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering sherry sweetness and tropical fruit. It is an excellent choice for sipping neat, with a splash of water, or alongside fine desserts.
