Umiki Whisky

Looks like someone just dropped a rating and dashed! No comment provided.

So the only way I can describe it is tasting salt water mixed with some arbitrary single malt scotch. Heavy on the salt water. Ended up using it as a mixer

Very unique taste, not sure I've ever had anything like it. It's got the brightness of pine with a little bit of smoke on the back end. Definitely not aggressively smokey, but a bit more depth than I've found in past experiences with Japanese whiskey.

I cannot, in good conscience recommend this product. I decided to take the chance on this and 2 other Japanese whisky bottles which were new to my local liquor store.. the description was both off-putting as well as inviting.. but I was skeptical, as the styling did not look like your typical Japanese whisky bottle.

Unfortunately, I should've chosen to pass on this paperweight. Umi = Ocean/Sea and Ki = Tree in the Japanese language... and this is very much the taste palate. A saltwater blend that leaves you thirsty for something, which certainly, won't be another swig of Umiki. Luckily, the bottle price is under $50, so you're not wasting top-shelve money.. but I'll have to stick with my Hibiki and Yamazaki.

I really love this one! On the nose it has wonderfull notes of cereal-ized honey, malt and sandalwood ish (May be pinewood barrel). On the palate there is a clear pinewood flavour that mixes with honey, grain, cinnamon, mint and pine sap! Its goes down smooth and nice, really worth a buy!
