Kamiki Japanese Cedar Cask Finish Blended Malt

Malty nose, spicy notes on the initial taste giving way to smooth woody taste with a hint of fruit. Finish is a bit short and lacks complexity. Hint of tea and the spice returns.

Don’t remember much, but I know I liked it

Nose: vanilla, sweet Palate: spicy, smoky, fruity, floral Finish: short cedar

Heavily wooded nose and taste. Seems a bit young & rough.

Nose - Lightly floral, honey, sandalwood, roasted barley tea, hints of Chinese herbal medicine roots, dried ginseng, cedar Taste - Dried goji berries, hint of dried oolong tea, dried Chinese red dates, ginger heat, dried persimmon Finish - Lingering fruity barley tea, light candied ginger, Chinese red dates, dried persimmon sweet Score - 70/100 Final Thoughts - This was...interesting I guess. Had an interesting nose that I've only gotten before from a young specialty barley whiskey I had once at Westland Distillery in Seattle, WA. The cedar influence was very apparent but there was also this weird Chinese herbal medicine vibe/funk I got out of this one. This one tasted quite young and although interesting, was kind of weird. Didn't really feel very well put together and not sure if the cedar influence was just overpowering the malt or what, but it was just kind of weird all around. Would I drink it if offered? - Maybe Would I specifically order it? - Not anymore Would I buy a bottle? - Not another

Woody

Honey, nutmeg, vanilla and cedar on the nose, more honey and vanilla with spices on the smooth palate, spice and smoke on the medium finish.

Sushi Bushido! Finally!
