Kamiki Sakura Wood Cedar Cask (750ml)

Product Description

Kamiki Sakura Wood Cedar Cask 750ml is a serene, beautifully layered Japanese whisky that immediately stood out to the blackbook team for its craftsmanship and sense of place. Known for pioneering cedar cask finishing, Kamiki elevates this Sakura Edition by adding an additional maturation in Japanese cherry blossom (Sakura) wood barrels—a finishing method so distinct that it feels tailor-made for blackbook’s curated spirits approach.

The combination of Yoshino cedar and Sakura wood produces a whisky with remarkable aromatic depth: floral, subtly sweet, and warmly spiced. It’s the kind of bottle blackbook selects specifically for customers who appreciate whiskies with intention, artistry, and cultural authenticity—not mass-produced releases that could come from anywhere.

If you're browsing blackbook to buy a Japanese whisky that’s refined, expressive, and unlike typical oak-aged spirits, this Sakura Wood Cedar Cask belongs at the top of the list.
