Onikishi is the demon Knight bound to our whisky, its spiritual strength and spirit in perpetual battle, yet balanced in its smooth finish and noble flavour. A brilliant duality worthy of Japan, its creators and spirits.
Produced in Hyogo prefecture, home of mount Kasagata where the Noma river flows, a distinct region known as the navel of Japan whose clear spring waters populate the area. The histroical birthplace of Japan as in the stories of the Koijiki and Nihongi.
Nose:
Neat - A woody body from American white oak nuanced by honey tones give way to a heathery and myrtle floral scent touched by citrus
On Ice - Chilling mutes the woody scents and accentuated the citrus myrtle flavour and brings forward a touch of vanilla
Palate:
Neat - An immediate rush of honey and vanilla gives way to a more robust caramel that coats the mouth and makes way through the mid palate to a warmer cedar smoke
On Ice - Citrus Flavour integrated into the creamy feel of caramel with a subtle undertone of cedar
Finish:
Neat - A refreshing kick of yuzu zest contrasts the opening sweetness to end as it begins on a woody note
On Ice - The mid palate carries through to the finish ending with just a touch of warmth
