Distillation and production

Production method

Kamiki is marketed as a blended malt: Japanese malt components are combined with selected malt whiskies from other parts of the world, matured in oak casks (ex-bourbon) and subsequently finished in Yoshino cedar casks. Some editions undergo an additional finish in cherry wood (sakura).

Ageing

Initial maturation in used American oak barrels (ex-bourbon); secondary finishing in Yoshino-sugi (Yoshino cedar) casks. Documentation reports an initial aging period of 7 years followed by a cedar finish of about 3 months for the blended malt.

Producer history Kamiki

The Kamiki brand is linked to Kamiki Shuzou (Kamiki Shuzo), with production and bottling activities in Soni (Nara Prefecture). The brand is promoted and distributed internationally by Yoshino Spirits; in recent years Kamiki has become known for experimental use of Yoshino cedar casks for finishing its blends.

Production philosophy

Seeking balance between local tradition and innovative maturation techniques: valuing Nara's spring waters, using selected malts (Japanese and international) and local woods to impart a distinctive aromatic character.

Territory

Soni Village, Nara Prefecture (Japan); bottling and finishing carried out in the Nara region.
