Kamiki is a new expression of premium Japanese style whisky blessed by Omiwa priests from Nara. Nara is the ancient capital of Japan and it holds many temples from Shinto, Tengri and Buddhist religions, which makes Nara «The City of Temples».

Kamiki production is protected by Omiwa Temple priests. Omiwa is one of the oldest extant Shinto shrine in Japan over thousand years old and protecting local alcohol producers ever since. To celebrate the timeless alcohol tradition of the region, rare Japanese malt whiskies and finest malt whiskies sourced from rest of the world are blended and later fused with the highest quality pure spring water.

Nara is covered with dense Yoshino Sugi (Japanese Cedar) forests. Yoshino Sugi is used to build temples, burnt in temples to calm mind and to age local alcohol products. Kamiki uses a unique second maturation technique, while blend is rested for a second time in Yoshino Sugi –Japanese Cedar- casks to capture a perfectly smooth taste, a scent of sandalwood on the nose and a zest of green tea in the finish. This second maturation makes Kamiki; “THE FIRST WHISKY IN THE WORLD WITH JAPANESE CEDAR CASK FINISH”!

Kamiki name is derived from the Miwa Mountain (Mountain of God), which is protected by Omiwa Priests. Inspired by beautiful breezes coming from Miwa, the whisky is named KAMIKI, where KAMI means God and IKI means breath.

Kamiki whisky has a smooth taste, complex flavor and driven by pure malted barley. There is no age statement on the product. It has been aged in oak barrels minimum of three years and second aged in non-charred local cedar casks. Kamiki comes in a premium gift box, truly displaying its Japanese heritage.

吉野杉是一種日本高級木材,主要生長在奈良縣,過去為寺廟的建築材料,也常被拿來製作清酒酒樽。「神息」的背景故事來自奈良,在這座擁有許多古老廟宇的聖地,是日本清酒釀造的發祥地,奈良的大神神社是日本最古老的神社之一,在此參拜三輪山神體,自古以來便以「神所居住的山」而受到尊崇,這裡也被奉為日本酒的守護神。
這款威士忌之所以叫「神息」,KAMI「神」,IKI「息」,即是解作神的氣息,這是源自當地三輪山山神的古老傳說,自神山吹下柔美的風猶如神的呼吸,感受帶有酒神氣息的威士忌。
