Kamiki Blended Malt Whisky

Why Do We Love This?

Kamiki is a unique blended malt whisky made using Japanese malts whiskies combined with specially selected malt whiskies from around the world. After blending, the whisky is finished in casks made from yoshino-sugi (often referred to as 'Japanese cedar'). It's a particularly aromatic type of wood, and Kamiki is said to be the first whisky ever to enjoy a yoshino-sugi cask finish!

The nose opens with aromatic sandalwood and a slight hint of peat. The peat is earthy and deep and goes well with the wooded tones. Sweeter notes of caramel and toffee also appear. These have a buttery quality that carries onto the palate. The taste is light and floral, with cherry blossom and plum trees. Fruits such as apples, pears and peaches appear. They are slightly tangy to the sweetness of the caramel. The peat smoke is really good on the palate. It does not overwhelm and goes perfectly with the fruits.
