Product description
Umiki whisky debuted in 2020 from Yoshino Spirits, an Osaka-based company specializing in the import and distribution of alcoholic beverages.
Its name is a combination of two words – Umi, meaning ocean, and ki, meaning tree. Umiki is a blend of single malt whiskies “distilled along the coast of Japan and imported single grain whiskies.” Once the blending process is complete, the components are fully blended in Japanese pine barrels, after which the whisky is diluted with desalinated, filtered water from the Pacific Ocean to 46% abv. Umiki has won several major awards, including a gold medal at the 2020 China Wine & Spirits Awards.
