Iseman Naiku-mae Brewery KAMIJI Blended Whisky | IWSC 2024 Gold Outstanding

A Craft Whisky Born at the Foot of Ise Grand Shrine | Awarded the World's Highest Gold

Born from the rich, natural landscape of Ise, Japan, at the foot of the sacred Ise Grand Shrine, "KAMIJI Blended Whisky" is Iseman Naiku-mae Brewery's debut craft whisky, capturing the spotlight on the international stage. The name "KAMIJI" derives from the sacred precinct of Ise Grand Shrine, making this whisky a quintessential premium souvenir of Ise — for Japanese whisky devotees, Ise cultural enthusiasts, and collectors of debut craft releases.

KAMIJI's distinctive flavor arises from rigorous sourcing and environment — a masterful blend of Canadian grain whisky aged over 10 years and the brewery's in-house single malt, offering exceptional smoothness and depth. Long maturation imparts roundness and richness, with a remarkably gentle entry — a layered yet approachable whisky.
