Crafted by the Eigashima distillery, one of Japan’s oldest and most respected producers, this unique spirit is a testament to centuries of expertise and a deep respect for nature’s bounty.

Nestled in the heart of Hyogo Prefecture, the Eigashima distillery, also known as White Oak, has been perfecting its art since 1888. This remarkable whisky, however, tells a tale that goes beyond traditional whisky boundaries, venturing into the realm of plum wine, or "umeshu," with a sophisticated twist.

On the nose, the Eigashima White Oak Akashi Ume Plum Whisky offers an enchanting bouquet. Rich and aromatic, it greets you with the delicate sweetness of ripe plums, balanced by a subtle hint of almond and marzipan. The first inhalation is a sensory journey through a Japanese orchard in full bloom, where the fruit’s natural sweetness is perfectly balanced by the whisky’s underlying oakiness.

As you take your first sip, prepare to be mesmerized by the harmonious blend of flavors. The initial taste is a luxurious mingling of sweet and tart plum notes, a signature characteristic of fine umeshu. This sweetness is gracefully tempered by the depth and complexity of the whisky, which introduces layers of vanilla, caramel, and a whisper of smokiness. Each sip unravels a new facet, showcasing the distillery’s skill in marrying the bright, fruity essence of ume with the rich, robust character of well-aged whisky.

The mouthfeel is velvety smooth, a testament to the meticulous aging process in carefully selected oak barrels. This whisky doesn’t just pass over the palate; it caresses it, leaving a lingering impression that invites you to explore its depths further. The finish is long and satisfying, echoing the perfect balance of sweet plum and oak spice, leaving a warm, lasting memory of your encounter.
