Product description
Kamiki blended malt is a proposal from Yoshino Spirits, an Osaka-based company specializing in the import and distribution of alcoholic beverages.
We don't know much about the formula of this whisky, according to the company's statement "it is a blend of single malts distilled in Japan and other parts of the world". After the blending process is complete, the whisky is finished in barrels made of Yoshino-Suga, or Japanese cedar. Kamiki Intense Wood debuted in 2019 and, according to the producer, spent a longer period in cedar barrels than previous editions. The name of the whisky is a combination of two words - Kami, or God, and iki, or Breath. Kamiki whisky is protected by monks from the Omiwa monastery, the oldest temple of Shinto followers, who have been watching over local producers of alcoholic beverages for a thousand years.
