Uchu Umeshu is a masterful expression of Japan’s plum liqueur tradition, crafted from the esteemed Ōshukubai ume of Õita-renowned for its perfect balance of sweetness and tang. Aged for three years, this meticulous process infuses the umeshu with rich depth, mellow complexity, and a delicate hint of oak, enhancing its natural fruit character with subtle whisky undertones.
Almonds, cantaloupe, dried apricots, marmalade, and a whisper of oak.
Palate
Velvety and delicate, with sweet plums, apricot, honey, and almond, enriched by a soft whisky warmth.
Finish
Long and well-balanced, with lingering notes of plum, honey, apricot, and a touch of delicate bitterness, wrapped in a gentle oak embrace.
