Kamiki Sakura
Meet Kamiki Sakura, a blended malt expression that combines Yoshino Sugi Japanese cedar with sakura wood finishing and a floral tasting character.
About this expression
Kamiki Sakura explores two Japanese woods in one whisky story. The brand describes a sequence involving oak, Yoshino Sugi cedar and sakura wood, building on the cedar identity of Original with a floral finishing element.
Sakura refers to the Japanese cherry tree. In this expression, it is a reference to wood used in finishing; it should not be confused with cherry-flavoured whisky or the addition of cherry juice. The production claim on an individual bottle should always be checked against its approved label.
