Kamiki SAKURA is a special edition of Kamiki ORIGINAL, aged in both Yoshino-Sugi and Sakura casks. This two-step maturation infuses the whisky with the essence of Japanese cedar and cherry blossom wood, offering a rich, warming woodiness reminiscent of Nara’s forests. Subtle notes of sandalwood, gentle spice, and sweet cherries emerge.
Although there is no age statement, the whisky is aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels, followed by maturation in non-charred local cedar and Sakura casks, capturing the spirit of Nara’s natural beauty in every bottle. Kamiki is the first whisky finished in Japanese cedar casks.
