Plum Brandy Liqueur 'Matsui Umeshu'

• Umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur) fortified with brandy produced by Matsui Whisky in Tottori, Japan
• Brandy pot distilled and lightly aged by Matsui’s Kurayoshi Distillery
• Produced using the soft groundwater of Tottori Prefecture’s Mount Daisen
• Aromas of fruit leather highlight prune, black cherry, and brown sugar before transitioning to a palate rich with caramelized pineapple, sultana raisin, and lemon curd with a gentle, pickled plum acidity riding out the finish
• 14% ABV

Rounder and lower-toned than Matsui’s whisky-fortified umeshu, Kurayoshi’s own pot-distilled brandy complements the rich, oxidized notes of the base plum liqueur. Try this delightfully complex, shelf-stable umeshu over ice, with hot or cold tea, or in stirred cocktails in need of subtle acidity.
