Kaikyo Hatozaki Umeshu Cask Finish Japanese Whisky 12 Year Old
Out of stock
This beautiful expression from the Kaikyo distillery is comprised of a meticulous blend of small-batch Single Malts. Aged for 12 years in old American oak casks, the malt then rested for a further 6 months in casks that contained Umeshu, a traditional Japanese plum liqueur. This secondary maturation imparted some fascinating characteristics to the Whisky.
On the nose, this Whisky reveals cereal and iodine notes, the precursors of a rich, complex taste experience. On the palate, the delicacy of pear and apricot blends harmoniously with honeyed and malty nuances, offering a balanced and subtle palette of flavours. The finish is long and sweet, leaving a delicate, refined imprint on the palate.
