Suntory plum wine smoky barrel finish [Yamazaki barrel plum wine blend]

Umeshu was developed by making the best use of the knowledge and technology that was used through the making of Suntory Spirits' Western liquor. At the Yamazaki Distillery, the birthplace of Suntory whiskey, it is one of the "Yamazaki Taru Umeshu" series aged in old barrels used for aging whiskey, and is characterized by its gorgeous aroma and deep richness derived from barrels.

This time, among the whiskey barrels of Yamazaki Distillery, plum wine was aged in the barrel used for aging smoky type whiskey. Multiple raw sakes are mixed to match the soda ratio, and the alcohol content is adjusted to a high 20%.

The package is characterized by the illustration of the barrel and the notation of "Yamazaki barrel plum wine blend". In addition, the dark green label gives it a rich and deep taste, while the gold letters "umeshu" give it a luxurious feel.
