Kamiki is a Japanese whisky brand produced by Kamiki Shuzou Co., a distillery that has transformed a century-old building into a modern, sustainability-focused facility in Japan. Rooted in the traditions of the Yoshino region, Kamiki has earned a distinct place in the world of Japanese whisky by pioneering an entirely unique approach to cask finishing that sets it apart from any other producer in the world. Kamiki holds the distinction of being the world's first whisky brand to use Japanese cedar β specifically Yoshino Sugi wood β for its cask finish. The core expression is a blended malt comprising Japanese and imported whisky, aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years before being finished in these rare cedar casks. This process imparts a remarkable flavour profile featuring notes of green tea, cedar, and honey. Kamiki Shuzou has also developed a Japanese single malt expression, which proved so popular upon its Japan-exclusive release that all stocks sold out almost immediately. Kamiki has been expanding its international footprint, partnering with Disaronno International to bring its whisky to UK and European markets. The brand's pioneering use of Yoshino Sugi cedar finishing and its commitment to sustainability have earned it recognition as one of the most innovative and distinctive voices in contemporary Japanese whisky.
