◆ A world first! "KAMIKI," a whisky brand matured in Yoshino-sugi (Japanese cedar) casks. ◆

KAMIKI Distillery — the only whisky distillery in Nara Prefecture — produces "KAMIKI," the world's first whisky aged in Yoshino-cedar casks.

Yoshino cedar, renowned as one of Japan's most prized cedar varieties, is considered ideal for sake and spirits casks thanks to its distinctive aroma and flavor.
Double-maturing the whisky in Yoshino-cedar casks yields a smooth, unmistakable character with a delicate sandalwood note — a profile that simply cannot be reproduced elsewhere.

"KAMIKI" has earned numerous international honors, including Gold at the San Diego International Spirits Festival.
Until recently it was produced primarily for overseas markets, making it a rarity even within Japan.

Aroma: distinctive green tea and sandalwood, with subtle notes of cedar, pine, and cinnamon
Palate: sweet caramel, Japanese plum, and a balanced harmony of oak and peat
Finish: a whisper of toffee, with a long, refreshing green-tea aftertaste
