Kamiki Sakura 0,50 ltr 48%

Whiskey Kamiki Sakura is the latest whiskey from the popular Japanese whiskey brand. It is a blend of the best malt whiskeys from around the world and top quality Japanese malt whiskey. This blend is mixed with Japanese water and finished in its unique barrels. Cedar wood, which has been used in Japan for centuries to build ships and temples, for example, gives the whiskey its flavor profile and subtle aftertaste. What makes this whiskey so special is that it is then matured again, but in Sakura, or Japanese Cherry Blossom. This gives the whiskey its elegant flavors.

The whiskey is packed with aromas and flavors. Of course cherry blossom immediately comes to the fore when smelling and tasting the whiskey. This is combined with chestnuts, cinnamon, mild spices and even a little ripe banana. The aftertaste is slightly spicy with floral and fresh notes.

Kamiki, which means ''God's Breath'' in Japanese, is the first Japanese whiskey to be finished in cedar barrels. The brand is fairly new, but has already made a name for itself in the worldwide whiskey market. It all started at Omiwa Shrine, at the foot of Mount Niwa, in Nara, Japan. Here, serving alcohol is seen as a blessing. The whiskey is made to uphold tradition and represents the nature, history and craft of making Japanese whiskey.

This is the perfect whiskey to order for the Japanese whiskey lover, but also for the novice drinker.
