Hatozaki Small Batch 12 Years Umeshu Cask Finish

Hatozaki Small Batch 12-Year-Old Umeshu Cask Finish is a 100% hand-crafted malt whisky, a blend of premium single malts, each aged for a minimum of 12 years in American Oak casks before being married and then further finished in bespoke barrels that previously held superior Umeshu liqueur for an additional 6 months.

 

A harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, Kaikyo Hatozaki 12 Year Umeshu Cask Finish is a Japanese whisky like no other. This whisky offers a unique and delicate flavor profile, with notes of plum, cherry blossom, and a hint of honey.

 

The tropical notes typical of the perrennially popular liqueur are a natural complement

to the nature of the malt whisky, however, thankfully they've been tempered by the casks and the result is a lucious whisky that has layers but is not cloying, Limited.

 

Unpeated, rich & fruity, it offers a generous profile of cereals, with iodine notes, fresh pear, apricots and a delicate hint of malty honey. The yellow plum finish brings a lasting touch of sweetness.
