Umiki is an ocean-fused blended whisky from the makers of Kamiki, finished in Japanese pine barrels and blended with desalinated Pacific Ocean water, bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).
Umiki calls itself the world's first ocean-fused whisky brand finished in Japanese pine barrels. It marries Japanese malt whisky with imported grain whisky, matured in casks including ex-bourbon and Japanese pine, then brought to strength with desalinated water from the Pacific Ocean. It comes from Yoshino Spirits, producers of Kamiki whisky.
The process gives the whisky exceptional smoothness, with a sea breeze on the nose, a rounded floral taste on the palate and a soothing, fresh finish threaded with piney warmth.
The ocean-blue label makes it a striking gift for Japanese whisky explorers.
Japanese 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.
Pine barrels are rarely used for whisky, giving Umiki a distinctive character.
