Suntory - Umeshu - Plum Liqueur matured in Yamazaki casks - 75cl

This is a bottle of Suntory Umeshu, a premium Japanese plum liqueur with a unique production process that sets it apart from standard varieties.

Produced by Suntory, the legendary house behind Yamazaki and Hibiki, this Umeshu is aged in toasted oak casks at the Yamazaki Distillery. These are the same casks used to age their award-winning single malts. The "toasted" (roasted) aspect of the casks imparts complex notes of vanilla and wood to the liqueur, adding a layer of sophistication rarely found in fruit liqueurs.
​
The result is a rich, amber-colored liqueur. It balances the natural sweet-and-sour profile of Japanese Ume plums with the fragrant aroma of the whisky-soaked oak. Expect notes of almond, dried fruits, and a long, smooth finish with a hint of whisky warmth.
