Kamiki Sakura is a refined expression of Japanese whisky, blessed by Omiwa priests from the ancient capital of Nara.

It is the world’s first whisky to be finished in both Sakura (cherry blossom) and Yoshino-Sugi (Japanese cedar) casks, creating a harmonious fusion of tradition and nature.

The whisky undergoes a two-step maturation process, resting first in Yoshino-Sugi casks, known for imparting delicate woody and spicy notes, before being transferred to Sakura casks for a final finish.

This unique approach infuses Kamiki Sakura with the soft floral essence of cherry blossoms and the warming woodiness of Japanese cedar.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Soft aromas of sandalwood, fresh Sakura blossoms, and a subtle hint of sweet spices.
• Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, with gentle spice, warming wood notes, and a delicate sweetness of cherries and honey.
• Finish: Long, with lingering sandalwood, mild spices, and a sweet, floral aftertaste reminiscent of Nara’s tranquil forests.
