The first cedar-kissed finish out there.

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.

So if you’re on a quest for a new flavor adventure, look no further than this Kamiki Maltage Japanese Whisky. It’s got everything one could want — a perfect balance of heather honey, sweet caramel, Japanese plum, balanced oak, peat, and toffee with hints of sandalwood and green tea. It clocks in at a hefty 48% and is non-chill filtered, so all those yummy natural flavors stay put. Oh, and each batch is super unique, blended at peak flavor rather than a predetermined ratio. And you know what that means, right? Aww yeah, li-mi-ted stock.

It's not uncommon for Japanese Whisky to be aged in mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. Suntory conducted a research on how mizunara oak influences Whisky flavor and found out it adds coconut notes to it.
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.
Japanese Whisky is connected both to Scotch and Bourbon. It’s a Scotch-style Spirit that’s matured in climates similar to Kentucky’s.
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!
