About this bottle

Shibui Grain Select Japanese Whisky is a japanese whisky from Japan made by Shibui. It is bottled at 43% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Very fruity and lightly sweet, like cherry-forward fruit punch. A wisp of booziness at the end; on the palate: That same artificial sweetness starts off again here, then richens. Sweet florals follow fairly briefly, cereal grains are firmly present throughout. Creamy, viscous texture; finish: Sweetness lingers, light and not overwhelming, finishing with a burst of sparkling apple cider and a bit of heat.

Serving & pairing

Often enjoyed as a highball with plenty of ice and soda. Delicate enough for sashimi, grilled fish and lightly salted snacks.

Is all “Japanese whisky” made in Japan?

Not always. Until the 2021 Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association standard, imported whisky could be bottled and labelled in Japan. Check the producer’s statement on each product page; we do not add claims of origin the producer has not made.

Wishlist haul

Saved three, bought three.

“A month of adding bottles to the Spirit Hives wishlist, then I checked out the three I kept opening. Sherried Speyside, a rye, a Rioja. All three matched the page.”
Matej N.Three bottles
Rare find

The bottle my town does not stock.

“Spirit Hives had the small-batch bourbon I had only ever seen on holiday. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was on the table for Sunday. That is why I came back.”
Marcus T.Small-batch bourbon
Birthday gift

Quick to order. Worth the wait.

“Checkout at Spirit Hives took a minute. The bottle itself took a little longer than a supermarket run. I ordered ahead for my brother's birthday and it arrived in time.”
Derek C.Ordered in advance
Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
