Akashi Ume Plum Whiskey

Akashi is the closest distillery to the coast in Japan. The ocean air is reflected in the whisky's character. This sweet whisky is born from the traditional Ume-Shu, which means Plum Alcohol. Aged for six months to one year, this whisky is a simple twist on a Japanese classic.
