Nagahama Plum Wine Single Malt Whisky Base Liqueur

Explore the Nagahama Distillery and Choya Umeshu Co., Ltd.’s collaborative creation, the Nagahama Plum Wine Single Malt Whisky Base Liqueur. This single malt is produced by Choya Umeshu Co., Ltd., which has been producing malt whisky plum wine for 60 years, and Nagahama Distillery, which is run by Nagahama Roman Beer Co., Ltd. in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture and is the smallest whisky distillery in Japan.

It uses a blend of malt whisky from Swedish oak barrels with first-fill bourbon barrels distilled from Nagahama Distillery. Minabe Town, Wakayama Prefecture’s Kiyokawa area produced Nanko plums for pickling by Choya Umeshu Co., Ltd., a company with over 60 years of experience in the plum wine industry. Particularly selected 4L in size Nanko plums with an over 80% ripeness level.

This is the ideal whisky plum wine with an appealing aroma of aged whisky at the top, featuring a lovely plum scent, a little rounded fresh acidity, bittersweet tannins, and a nice barrel fragrance that clings on the finish. Only sugar, single malt whisky, and plum fruit are utilized. You may appreciate the subtle sweetness and lingering aftertaste as the maltiness of the whisky, the bittersweet tannins, and the sourness from the plums are all working in perfect balance. Enjoy the exceptional plum wine that CHOYA and Nagahama Distillery, which has been making plum wine for 60 years, have painstakingly produced.
