Product details
Hatozaki Umeshu Cask Finish 12-Year is a meticulously crafted blend of premium single malts, each aged for at least 12 years in American Oak casks. The whisky undergoes an additional 6-month finish in bespoke casks that previously held Umeshu liqueur, imparting unique flavors. This unpeated malt showcases a rich and fruity profile with notes of fresh pear, apricots, and malty honey. The umeshu influence adds a delightful sweetness, with a finish reminiscent of yellow plum, giving the whisky a refined, complex character.
Perfectly balanced with cereals and subtle iodine notes, this whisky offers a smooth, mellow experience. Pair it with lightly smoked meats or grilled seafood to bring out the whisky's delicate sweetness and fruit-forward profile.
