Kamiki Whisky
About Kamiki Whisky
Kamiki Whisky is a distinctive Japanese blended malt whisky crafted in Nara Prefecture, a region steeped in spiritual history and ancient tradition, often called the City of Temples. Its name derives from the Japanese words “Kami” (god) and “Iki” (breath), evoking a sense of harmony and reverence that mirrors its philosophy of balance and refinement. The whisky combines carefully selected Japanese malt whiskies with premium malts from around the world, marrying global craftsmanship with Japanese spirit and purity.
Kamiki’s signature innovation lies in its second maturation finish in Japanese cedar (Yoshino Sugi) casks — a world first — which imparts a subtle yet distinctive aromatic profile of sandalwood, green tea, and cedar alongside traditional whisky notes of honey, caramel, and oak. This unique wood influence gives Kamiki a smooth, elegant character with layers of complexity, bridging tradition with contemporary creativity.
The brand reflects deep cultural roots and craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from local spiritual heritage and pristine spring waters, while appealing to global whisky lovers seeking a refined and memorable expression with a uniquely Japanese twist.
