Akashi Ume Whiskey 750ml

Wasn't sure what to expect from a plum whiskey, but the balance is surprisingly smooth without being syrupy. The 750ml bottle is a nice size for trying something new without committing to a huge bottle.

The plum sweetness hits right after a smooth, mellow sip—this 750ml bottle’s going fast at my dinner parties. It’s got that gentle umami finish that makes it dangerously easy to pour another.

The 750ml bottle is a generous size, and the smoothness of this Japanese whiskey is remarkable—it’s dangerously easy to sip neat. I’ve been using it in highballs and the subtle plum notes really shine through without being overpowering.
