Hatozaki 12yo Umeshu

A 12-year-old malt whisky from Hatozaki, this interesting Japanese bottling was initially matured in American oak casks, before being finished for six months in barrels that previously held Umeshu liqueur, arguably the most iconic fruit liqueur made in the country using a native variety of small plums called ume.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Floral honey, creamy vanilla, and lots of fresh orchard fruit.

Palate Through cherry blossom and lavendar comes lychee, dried apricot, sweet peaches in cream, and toffee.

Finish Violets and vanilla linger.

Reviews for Hatozaki 12 Year Old Umeshu Cask Finish
Perfect price for a near perfect whisky
What a mellow smooth light whisky, easy drinking and full of character at the same time! 12 year age statement and in my opinion it's such an understated whisky, especially for the price too.
