Akashi Ume Eigashima Japanese Plum Whisky 750 ml

Akashi Ume is a plum-flavored expression from Eigashima Shuzo, the Japanese distillery behind the White Oak brand, blending their whisky with ume plum flavoring in a style that bridges Japanese whisky and traditional umeshu plum liqueur. Specific base whisky and ume preparation details are not fully published. The nose shows ripe plum and light malt, the palate carries sweet-tart plum over a whisky base, and the finish is smooth and fruity. It suits drinkers curious about Japanese fruit-whisky crossover styles. It won't win points for rarity, but it's a dependable bottle for stocking a bar without overspending.

How to drink Akashi Ume

Serve it chilled or over ice, the way umeshu-style plum spirits are traditionally enjoyed in Japan.
