Description

Umesky is a blend of Umeshu (ume plum liqueur) and whisky, created by the innovative and prestigious century-old Wakatsuru Shuzo brewery. It is made by infusing green plums into premium aged whisky. After a year, these plums release their intense and delicate aroma, creating a liqueur with a refined taste, a rich plum aroma and a smooth texture. It will be appreciated by whisky beginners or umeshu fans. Umesky has attracted the attention of spirits enthusiasts in Japan and abroad, considered an interesting initiative to spread traditional Japanese flavors around the world.

Alcohol content: 24°

Flavor

This umeshu combines the intensity of whisky with the sweetness of plum. On the nose, it reveals aromas of peat, apricot, mandarin, and a hint of umami. On the palate, its balanced acidity makes it refreshing. The whisky flavors reveal themselves at the end, with a lingering smokiness and a complexity reminiscent of black tea.
