Onikishi Whisky

A Japanese whisky with a name carrying a mythical ring. Onikishi draws on traditional Japanese mythology and sound to signal strength and character. This is a whisky that leans on Japan's great whisky heritage without itself being one of the well-known, established names.

  • Onikishi bottle with samurai label
    Item no.: 059763-615-207

    The name Onikishi means "demon knight" - a name that matches the striking samurai figure on the label, drawing on Japanese anime culture.

About Onikishi

Onikishi is a Japanese whisky whose name draws on traditional Japanese mythology and language.

History & Background

Onikishi is a newer Japanese whisky label for which limited information about a named home distillery has been published. Like several other younger Japanese labels, the whisky may be composed from spirit bought in from established producers, a widespread practice in Japan, where rules on what may be labelled "Japanese whisky" have historically been looser than in Scotland.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled and matured using classic Japanese methods, giving it an elegant, balanced profile.

Signature Style

Did You Know?

Japan only introduced a voluntary industry standard in 2021 for what may genuinely be marketed as "Japanese whisky," meaning many older bottles on the market were produced without such requirements.
