Ohishi Brandy Cask Finish: JAWS Rating 5.5/10

The Whiskey Noob review Ohishi Brandy Cask Japanese Whisky

Ohishi Brandy Cask Finish

A Whiskey Review by The Whiskey Noob

 

I first tried this at Whiskies of the World in San Jose and I remember in the midst of trying all these different and great whiskies during the event I remember finally getting to a table offering Japanese whisky.

I was pretty excited because I haven’t tried too many Japanese whiskies yet and of the ones I did try I actually liked.

This distillery was new to me and I’ve never even heard of it, so I thought that MAYBE I might have found a hidden gem.  Something that maybe not everyone was keen on and I would be able to turn it into a daily sipper.

The one thing I DID remember was that this whiskey did NOT stand out to me.  It was very blah and very forgettable…

I thought that maybe because I was a little tipsy at the event I just remembered it wrong.

So I found a bottle and I decided to give it another shot recently and WOW!

I was right the first time…

Guess I was still sober enough to remember that this did not stand out at all.

Still fucking forgettable….so that is what I will do, forget all about this one…on to the next one!!!

Gotta do my due diligence and keep finding a good Japanese whisky.  Don’t worry ma noobs because you know you will be the FIRST ones to know!

I got y’all backs!
