A shot of divinity with a bold, cedar-blessed Japanese Whisky.

Kamiki, translated as the “Breath of God,” is a new expression of Japanese Whisky, straight out of the ancient capital Nara — Japan’s Temple Central. Blessed by the priests of Omiwa Shrine, who've been protecting local booze-makers for over a thousand years, Kamiki elevates the timeless tradition of Whisky-making by combining rare Japanese malt with the finest from around the world, all infused with the purest, high-quality spring water. The lush Yoshino Sugi (Japanese Cedar) forests surround Nara, providing wood for temples and aging the local Spirits. And that is the special something-something that sets Kamiki apart from everybody else — they give their blends a second nap in Yoshino Sugi casks for a perfectly smooth taste, making it the first Whisky in the world with a Japanese cedar cask finish.

Their exclusive Intense Wood Japanese Whisky is perfect for all the thrill-seekers that are looking to spice up their taste buds. Just like their original blend, this Whisky combines a top-notch selection of malts from Japan and all around the world, but — it comes with a twist! It spent some extra time lounging in Japanese cedar casks, making it bolder than its original sibling. Brace yourself for the heat of bold cedar, earthy tobacco, sweet caramel, Japanese plum, and a delicate balance of oak and peat.

In recent years, Japanese Whiskies have won several top prizes at the World Whisky Awards and have consistently scored higher than Scotch Whiskies in blind tastings. Talk about a student surpassing the master!
Japanese Whisky is connected both to Scotch and Bourbon. It’s a Scotch-style Spirit that’s matured in climates similar to Kentucky’s.
The Highball brought Japanese Whisky back to life. Aside from some attention from overseas, Japanese Whisky consumption domestically was very low during the better part of the early 2000s. It wasn’t until 2008, when Suntory launched the Highball campaign featuring their Kakubin Whisky that things kicked off.
The two biggest Whisky producers in Japan are Nikka and Suntory, major rivals.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
