About Kamiki Intense Whisky
Kamiki Intense Wood is a blended malt whisky that stands out in the market as the first whisky brand to finish its expressions in Japanese cedar (Yoshino Sugi) casks. Bottled at 48% ABV, this expression spends an extended finishing period in cedar wood, resulting in an exceptionally bold and woody profile that dominates the tasting experience. The whisky combines rare Japanese malts with premium spirits from around the world, creating a unique flavor journey. This is not an entry-level dram—it's designed for experienced whisky enthusiasts and adventurous palates seeking something genuinely different. At $67.26 for 750ml, it offers distinctive character that sets it apart from conventional blended malts, though the intense cedar influence may not appeal to traditional whisky drinkers.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose immediately presents a strong, fresh cedar aroma mixed with spices including cloves, black pepper, and cumin seed. Additional notes of sandalwood, heather honey, dried tea leaves, vanilla, and caramel emerge as the cedar gradually fades, with hints of resin and a faint floral character.
👅 Palate
Bold cedar dominates the palate with earthy tobacco, sweet caramel, and Japanese plum notes. The mouthfeel is voluminous and slightly oily, with cinnamon spice, honey, vanilla, and toffee layering beneath the intense wood influence. The liquid lingers exceptionally long on the palate in a pleasant, complex manner.
✨ Finish
The finish is medium to long with peppery cedar and spices continuing to assert themselves, accompanied by hints of toffee, green tea, and lingering wood notes that persist well after swallowing.
