This spirit is inspired by traditional Japanese umeshu (plum wine). Ume (sour green plums), are freshly harvested and macerated in barrels that once held Akashi Blended Whisky and sweetened with a light coating of rock sugar. It is matured between 6 to 12 months before bottling at 30.5% ABV.

Let sit for about a minute. đ: Very pale gold, transparent, tears evident; đ: Fruity with slight plum accent, fragrant; đ : Very sweet, tastes like a dessert, thin and not viscous at all; đ: No complexity whatsoever, just SWEET with more SWEETNESS on top of it, not lingering at all.
It is a sweet whiskey. Good for people that donât typically like whiskeyâŚare new to whiskeyâŚetc. Also, itâs good for mixing cocktails where you donât want to add in a simple syrup or something.
This was the whiskey which got me into whiskey. My tastes have changed since drinking this, but I have a soft spot for this whiskey.
Flavored whiskyâs arenât really my thing, but the taste of plum and whisky actually go surprisingly well together.
Lovely authentic ume flavor. Itâs sweet but not too sweet, yet pleasant. Drinking straight up is good already.
Smooth and sweet, overwhelmingly plum at room temperature. Much more balanced when chilled. Fun unique drink
