Kaibutsu Monki Edition – Japanese Whisky

Kaibutsu Monki Japanese whisky is a modern blended whisky crafted with character, breaking the conventions of traditional whisky. The Monki Edition is named after the fallen mountain god: a fruity, smooth blend with a spicy vanilla finish.

The house of Kaibutsu

In Japanese folklore, yokai are timeless mystical spirits and creatures, known as kaibutsu. Kaibutsu whisky celebrates them. It is made with the know-how of Japanese master craftsmen, to a secret recipe, at one of Japan’s largest blending houses, Shiki Shuzo, in Hyogo prefecture. It was designed to be both approachable and playful, inviting whisky lovers and newcomers alike to discover the category.

Kaibutsu Monki Japanese whisky

This blend is aged for at least 3 years in oak casks. It is bottled at 43% ABV in a 70 cl bottle, in a gift box illustrated with Monki, the mountain god in the shape of a monkey.

Tasting notes

The profile is fruity and smooth, with notes of lemon and apple and a spicy vanilla finish. A supple, easy-going blended whisky that charms without being overpowering. Its fruit-led profile and spicy vanilla finish make it a natural choice for a highball, and an easy way to start exploring Japanese whisky. The brand’s tagline, printed on the label, is “Free your spirit”.

Serving

Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, as a highball with sparkling water or in cocktails.
