TASTING NOTES – KAMIKI
Nose
Scents of white pepper and sweet mentholated balsamic herbs, which gradually become more intense. There is also a veiled nuance of peat present. After a few moments, apple and a hint of citrus, where the lemon stands out, follow.
Palate
Oily. It is spicy, with aromas of white pepper and chili, followed by honey and a hint of unripe hazelnut.
Finish
Of medium persistence. Wood and honey, together with a vegetal note.
Overall, Kamiki is a Japanese whiskey with a good balance and flavor intensity. The ABV is well chosen for this blend. Interesting.
