Hatozaki Umeshu Cask Finish 12 year 750ml

Hatozaki Umeshu Cask Finish is a Japanese whisky finished in casks that previously held umeshu, the sweet Japanese plum liqueur, a distinctly local finishing choice that sets it apart from the sherry and bourbon casks more common in Scotch and other Japanese whisky. At 12 years old, the base whisky carries substantial cask time before the umeshu finish adds its own layer. Expect a nose of stone fruit and light plum sweetness, a palate of malt, oak spice, and a distinct fruity-tart note from the umeshu influence, and a smooth, fruit-driven finish. It's a distinctive pick for whisky drinkers curious about Japanese cask innovation.
