Product details
Kamiki Sakura Wood Whisky is an innovative expression from Kamiki Whisky, a brand deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Nara, Japan—a city renowned for its historic temples and lush forests. The name "Kamiki" translates to "God's Breath," reflecting the brand's dedication to harmonizing nature and craftsmanship. This whisky stands out as the world's first to undergo a unique triple cask maturation process: initially aged in oak barrels, followed by Japanese cedar (Yoshino Sugi) casks, and finally finished in sakura (cherry blossom) wood casks. This meticulous aging technique imparts distinctive flavors and aromas, embodying the essence of Japanese tradition and natural beauty.
On the nose, Kamiki Sakura Wood Whisky presents a complex bouquet with notes of sandalwood, cedar, sakura flowers, dried fruits, and honey. The palate is soft, smooth, and perfectly balanced, revealing nuances of cedar, dried fruits, and honey, leading to a long aftertaste with warm highlights of tobacco and wild cherries. This whisky pairs exceptionally well with smoked fish and seafood dishes, enhancing the flavors of the meal. Presented in an elegant gift box, Kamiki Sakura Wood Whisky makes an ideal gift for whisky enthusiasts or those wishing to explore Japanese influences in the art of distillation.
