Onikishi derives its name from the Japanese words “Oni” meaning Demon and “Kishi” meaning Knight, which we also combine with our Japanese/Chinese name “鬼侍” which translates as Guǐ shì (Gway-Shee) in Putonghua and can also be referred to as Oni Samurai in Japanese.
Japan is a land known for its technological marvels yet its deeply rooted cultural heritage and behind this are centuries of mysticism and epic tales of lore, where history and mythology intersect.
Onikishi is the demon knight bound to our whisky, imbuing it with its strength, vigor, mystical charm and heritage. Onikishi pairs the country’s deep traditions with its latest trends, truly capturing the enduring essence of Japan.
