Onikishi Japanese Blended Malt Whisky 700ml

THE DEMON KNIGHT OF JAPANESE WHISKY - Onikishi (鬼侍) fuses Oni (demon) and Kishi (knight), a name that captures the clash and harmony between Japan's ancient traditions and its bold modern spirit. The fearsome samurai on the label, inspired by classic sake bottles and anime artwork, makes this a Japanese whisky that stands out on any shelf or back bar. HONEY, VANILLA, CARAMEL & YUZU - A blend of malt and grain whiskies matured in American white oak. The nose opens with honeyed oak, heather blossom and dried citrus peel. The palate brings vanilla cream and rich caramel, a warming cedar smoke mid-palate and a touch of baking spice, before a bright, refreshing finish of yuzu zest and gentle wood spice. AWARD-WINNING JAPANESE BLENDED WHISKY - Named Japanese Blended Whisky of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition. Smooth, delicate and highly sessionable, Onikishi is an approachable way into Japanese whisky, delivering depth and balance without the price tag of the category's rarest bottlings. CRAFTED IN HYOGO, JAPAN - Onikishi is crafted in Taka-cho, a mountain-framed town in Hyogo Prefecture known for its mild climate and pure local waters, and often called the geographic heart of Japan. It marries Scotch whisky tradition with Japanese precision and attention to detail, and is bottled at 43% ABV for a fuller, rounder flavour. MADE FOR THE HIGHBALL - The signature serve is the Yuzu Highball: pour a measure over plenty of ice in a tall glass, top with chilled soda water and finish with a twist of yuzu or lemon peel. Equally good neat, on the rocks or in a Coffee Sour. With its striking samurai bottle, it makes a standout gift for birthdays, Christmas, Father's Day and fans of Japanese culture.
