The Matsui Umeshu Whisky

Matsui Umeshu is a distinctive Japanese expression that combines traditional umeshu with whisky. It brings together the natural sweetness of Japanese plums and the depth of whisky, therefore creating a smooth and balanced liqueur.

Umeshu is made by macerating ume plums, which are known for their sweet and tart character. In this expression, the plum liqueur is blended with whisky to add structure, warmth, and complexity. On the nose, aromas of ripe plum appear first. Notes of almond, honey, and light oak follow. A gentle whisky presence adds depth without overpowering the fruit.

On the palate, the texture is smooth and silky. Sweet and tart plum flavours lead, supported by soft whisky notes. Hints of caramel and gentle spice add balance. The finish is rounded, slightly sweet, and pleasantly warming. The Matsui Umeshu Whisky can be enjoyed neat or over ice. It also works well in light cocktails or as a refined after dinner drink. This expression reflects Japanese craftsmanship and balance. The focus remains on harmony between fruit and whisky.

The Matsui Umeshu Whisky is ideal for those seeking something different. It suits both whisky lovers and those who enjoy fruit forward liqueurs.
