Product description
Kamiki whisky debuted in 2018 in the offer of Yoshino Spirits, a company based in Osaka specializing in the import and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Its formula includes both Japanese single malts and their counterparts from "other parts of the world", while the name of the whisky is a combination of two words - Kami, meaning God, and iki, meaning breath. After the huge success of Kamiki Intense finished in Japanese cedar barrels, the company offered the Kamiki Sakura version. In this case, the whisky, after undergoing the final maturation in cedar barrels, was poured into barrels made of Japanese cherry (Sakura). Sakura symbolizes the arrival of spring and has a special meaning for the people of Japan. Kamiki Sakura has won several significant awards, including a gold medal at the China Wine & Spirits Awards in 2019.
