Intense Wood stays in the cedar longer than the original Kamiki, so the wood speaks louder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedar is almost never used for whisky casks, which gives Kamiki a character all its own: fresh-cut wood and sandalwood, warm cinnamon, tobacco and tea, with floral notes over a weighty malt base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA distinctive bottle for whisky drinkers who like to explore beyond the usual oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedar is a softer, more aromatic wood than oak, and in Japan it has long been prized for its fragrance in temples, sake barrels and traditional baths. Here it adds a woody, incense-like lift that sets Kamiki apart from whiskies matured only in oak, and the 48% bottling strength carries that character through to a long finish. It is a whisky for curious drinkers, and a memorable gift for anyone who thinks they have tasted every style of Japanese whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJapanese whisky has earned a worldwide reputation for balance and precision, and limited releases from its historic distilleries are among the most sought-after bottles for collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshly cut cedar, sandalwood and floral notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood, cinnamon, tobacco and tea over a weighty malt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kamiki, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended malt whisky (Japanese Maltage)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Yoshino cedar casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48% (96 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat to taste the cedar, or add a few drops of water to open it up.
