Kamiki Sakura Wood

Finally, the finish settles into a beautifully balanced profile of oak, spice, and ripe apple, leaving a lingering warmth. This whisky's dynamic flavor evolution is a testament to its careful maturation in sakura wood casks. Overall, Kamiki Sakura Wood is an exceptional whisky that captivates with its ever-changing character. Rating: 98/100

En nariz se siente impronta de una madera distinta. Plátano, incienso, eucalipto, cereza tenue. El alcohol presente pero suave, con reminiscencia a un aguardiente. Con concentración algo de dulce de leche. En boca predominan dulce de leche y eucalipto. Apimentado intermedio entre pimienta blanca y negra. Vainilla. Final corto en cuanto al cuerpo principal pero larga presencia de jazmín y eucalipto. Dulce y fresco al mismo tiempo. Único y de gran calidad. Experiencia obligada para tomarlo alguna vez en la vida, aunque ya en parte excede a lo que respecta los canones típicos del whisky. Lo debatible sería su relación precio-calidad.

It is d definitely interesting and intense, but i dont get near all the flavors other seem to. I get black pepper on the nose, with the cedar, and a very, very slight hint of cherry. The taste is intense cedar, with what seems like smoke, but I dont think it's peated. A little baking spice. It soon changes to cough syrup, which really reduces the score for me. If it can be bought for roughly $70, its okay. For $96, pass.

I’m quite enamored with this whiskey. Lots of cinnamon spice and as one might assume a note that reminds me of cherries! Orchard fruit - like apple, pear, that sort of thing. No real burn. Very nice.

Cinnamony and almost pine then woodiness in the aroma, then some initial wood on the palate-followed by spice, then some tart fruit notes and a light floral finish.

Aroma- Light Fruit (canteloupe) Flavor- Fruit, citrus (lemon) Opinion- My favorite Japanese whiskey, so far. Enjoyable. The Japanese cedar is unique.
