Umiki Blended Whisky (Ocean-Fused) — Japanese Coastal Malt + Grain, Finished in Japanese Pine Barrels
Umiki Blended Whisky is a distinctive “ocean-fused” blend that celebrates Japan’s coastline—combining ocean-side distilled Japanese malt whiskies with imported grain whiskies, then finished in Japanese pine barrels for a subtle coastal-forest aroma.
What makes Umiki truly different is its signature proofing step: the blend is brought to bottling strength using filtered, desalinated ocean water, designed to enhance smoothness and add a gentle sea-breeze freshness.
UMI means Ocean and KI means Tree—a name that perfectly matches its profile: maritime lift + piney resin warmth.
Why Umiki Stands Out
- Ocean-fused whisky: blended and proofed with desalinated ocean water for an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel
- Japanese pine barrel finish: adds a unique coastal-forest character you won’t find in standard blends
- 46% ABV: fuller body, better flavor carry, and a longer finish
- Versatile profile: works neat, on ice, or in highballs without losing its aromatics
How to Drink
- Neat: best for the sea-breeze + pine-resin complexity
- On a large ice cube: opens florals and apple notes while keeping the finish clean
- Japanese Highball: whisky + soda + lemon peel (keep it light to preserve the pine finish)
