Shibui Single Grain 18-Year-Old Japanese Whisky — Sherry Cask Matured (750 ml)

Shibui Single Grain 18-Year-Old Sherry Cask Matured Japanese Whisky is a rare and distinguished single grain whisky that showcases the elegance of extended aging and the influence of premium sherry casks. Distilled in Okinawa and matured for nearly two decades, this expression reflects Shibui’s philosophy of blending Japanese craftsmanship with carefully chosen cask finishes to deliver extraordinary depth and refinement.

Aged in a combination of Fino and Manzanilla sherry casks, the whisky develops a luxurious character defined by balance, richness, and complexity. On the nose, it reveals layers of dried fruit, toasted almond, and citrus peel, underscored by hints of oak and spice. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, offering flavors of fig, raisin, caramelized sugar, and baking spices, complemented by subtle salinity from the coastal cask influence. The finish is long and elegant, leaving impressions of sherry-soaked fruit, warm oak, and lingering spice.

Bottled at cask strength and presented in small quantities, Shibui Single Grain 18-Year-Old Sherry Cask Matured represents a confluence of time, place, and technique—crafted for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate Japanese whisky at its most sophisticated.

Shibui Whisky celebrates understated “quiet beauty,” a Japanese aesthetic rooted in simplicity, subtlety, and balance. Produced on the tropical island of Okinawa, each expression—like the 18-Year-Old Sherry Cask Single Grain—is distilled, matured, and bottled at Shibui’s Masahiro Distillery, blending generations of skill with a modern perspective.

The brand focuses on single grain whiskies, aged exclusively in first-fill Fino and Manzanilla sherry casks, or handcrafted white oak barrels. Through this approach, Shibui achieves richly layered flavor profiles—dried fruit, toasted nuts, caramel, spice, and coastal salinity—all while maintaining elegant clarity of spirit.

Widely recognized for quality, Shibui has emerged as one of the most awarded newly introduced Japanese whiskies in the U.S. market. Its lineup reflects a deliberate fusion of Japanese tradition and global craftsmanship—delivering depth, nuance, and that unassuming elegance that defines the word “shibui.”
