Product Detail

INFO

Living delicately between the worlds of liqueur and whisky, this sweetened dram is born out of the tradition of ume-shu which translates to plum alcohol. In late May, green, sour plums are harvested and combined with rock sugar and matured Akashi blended whisky. This mixture then rests 6 months to a year for the plums to impart their sweet and sour flavors into the distillate. Japanese whisky-based plum liqueur produced by Eigashima Shuzo in Akashi, Japan
This sweet and savory whisky liqueur is inspired by the traditions of classic Japanese umeshu (plum wine)
Freshly harvested, Japanese ume sour green plums are macerated in matured barrels of Akashi Blended Whisky, lightly sweetened with rock sugar, and aged 610 months
Brimming with bright plum notes and hints of apricot, raisin, and honey with a touch of acidity on the finish
30.5% ABV
For those that are looking for something fruity, easy-drinking, and unique, look no further! Try it neat, on the rocks, served with soda, or as a modifier in cocktail recipes that call for fruit liqueurs or rich sherry.
