Akashi Ume Japanese Plum Whisky 750 ml

Akashi Ume Japanese Plum Whisky is a graceful fusion of traditional Japanese plum liqueur (umeshu) and Akashi White Oak Whisky, capturing the perfect harmony between sweetness and depth. Produced at the historic White Oak Distillery in Hyogo, Japan, one of the country’s oldest licensed distilleries, this spirit embodies the refined artistry of Japanese blending.

Crafted by steeping locally grown ume plums in Akashi’s smooth, mellow whisky, the result is a delicately balanced expression that combines the bright fruitiness of plum with the gentle warmth of oak-aged whisky. Each sip reveals a seamless interplay of sweet, tart, and subtly woody notes with an experience both refreshing and sophisticated.
