Kamiki Intense Wood
Explore Kamiki Intense Wood, the cedar-forward expression in the Kamiki whisky family, with a closer look at its wood finish and tasting profile.
About this expression
Kamiki Intense Wood follows the brand’s Japanese cedar-cask theme but gives the wood influence a more prominent place. The official Kamiki description positions Intense as a longer cedar-cask expression intended for those interested in a fuller wood character.
Intense Wood and Original share the wider Kamiki story of malt blending and Yoshino Sugi finishing. Their distinction lies in the intensity of the wood profile, rather than a claim that one is a wholly Japan-distilled single malt.
