From the heart of Japan, Akashi Ume Blend Whisky is an extraordinary expression of the artisanal expertise of the Akashi distillery. This unique blend contains whisky matured in oak barrels, which is then expertly mixed with umeshu, a traditional Japanese liqueur made with macerated Ume plums. The result is a 50cl whisky that offers a rich and multi-layered taste experience.
On the nose, Akashi Ume Blend reveals sweet notes of ripe fruit blended with subtle hints of caramel and vanilla, deriving from the wood of the barrels. On the palate, the taste is complex and balanced: the natural sweetness of umeshu perfectly complements the robustness of whisky, introducing a light acidity that refreshes and invigorates the flavor. The finish is long and pleasantly persistent, with a taste where echoes of dried fruit and spices are recognized.
Ideal for whisky lovers seeking unique tasting experiences, Akashi Ume Blend stands out for its innovative character and its ability to fuse distillation traditions with the refined Japanese enogastronomic culture. Serve slightly chilled to enhance all its nuances.
