Kamiki Intense Wood [500ML]

Description

What happens when Japanese craftsmanship meets the bold intensity of yoshino-sugi cedar casks?

Kamiki Intense Wood represents a masterful fusion of Japanese precision and international excellence. This blended malt whisky combines carefully selected Japanese malts with premium expressions from around the world, all unified by pure Japanese spring water. What sets this apart is its extended cedar cask finishing – longer than the original Kamiki expression – creating an exceptionally bold, woody character. For whisky enthusiasts seeking complexity, consider exploring our BenRiach Smoky 12 Years or the refined Togouchi Premium Japanese Blended Whisky for comparison.
