Overview

More Info

From the coastal fishing village of Akashi, Japan comes a whisky reimagined through ume plums. Eigashima Shuzo — holder of Japan's first whisky license — steeps freshly harvested sour green plums and rock sugar directly in barrels of matured Akashi blended whisky, resting the mix six to ten months. The result lands at 30.5% ABV, layering bright plum against apricot, raisin, and honey, with a clean acidic snap on the finish. Pour it neat, over ice, or lengthen with soda for an easy sipper. Sip Something New.
