Shibui 15 Year Old Sherry Cask Single Grain Japanese Whisky
Shibui 15 Year Old Sherry Cask Single Grain Japanese Whisky
Fifteen years is a long time for a single grain whisky to sit still, and the patience shows. This Okinawan whisky spent that stretch in first-fill Fino and Manzanilla sherry casks, the drier end of the sherry spectrum, which keeps the sweetness in check and lets the grain's softer side come through.
Ripe banana leads, backed by vanilla and a bright thread of red fruit. Underneath sits cocoa, dusty rather than sweet, with baking spice warming the back palate and a faint coastal salinity that lingers after everything else has faded. At 86 proof (43% ABV), the texture is gentle and rounded, easy to drink slowly without any burn to work through.
A 750 mL bottle that earns a spot on the shelf you actually reach for. Neat is the honest way to meet it, though a single cube will pull the salt and cocoa forward if you prefer it cold.
