Kamiki New Blended Japanese Whisky

The production of Kamiki Whisky is protected by Omiwa temple priests from Nara, the first capital of Japan. Omiwa is one of the oldest existing shrines in Japan, over 1000 years old, and has been protecting local alcohol producers ever since.

Nara is densely covered in Yoshino Sugi (Japanese cedar) forests. Yoshino Sugi is used to build temples, it is burned in temples to calm the mind and to age local alcohol. Kamiki is first aged for 3 years in oak and then, using a unique technique, in uncharred, local Yoshino Sugi to bring out the perfect rounded flavor, a sandalwood scent and a hint of green tea on the finish. It's this second aging that makes Kamiki: "THE FIRST WHISKY IN THE WORLD WITH JAPANESE CEDAR CASK FINISH"!

The name, Kamiki, is inspired by the mountain, Miwa, which means Mountain of God and is protected by the Omiwa temple priests. KAMI means God and IKI means breath, and the name has been inspired by the beautiful breezes from Miwa.

Kamiki Blended Malt Whisky offers a well-balanced aroma of heather honey and sandalwood, while sweet caramel, Japanese plums with oak balanced by peat on the palate. It rounds off nicely with hints of toffee and a long finish with a hint of green tea.
