Akashi Ume Japan Blended Whisky - Bourbon Barrels, Umeshu Casks Finish

Special features: The Akashi Ume Japan Blended Whisky comes from the Eigashima distillery, which was founded in 1984 and was the first Japanese distillery to receive a license for whisky production in 1919. This blended whisky is made from 30% malted barley and 70% grain whisky. The aging process begins in bourbon barrels, followed by a three-month finish in umeshu casks, resulting in a harmonious fruitiness. The whisky comes in an elegant gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose presents fruity notes of ume fruits, accompanied by a fine hint of vanilla.
• Palate: On the palate, there is a balanced combination of sweet freshness and light spiciness that supports the fruity profile.
• Finish: The finish is mild and fruity, with an aftertaste that emphasizes the sweet and slightly sour ume aromas.
