Hyakunen Umeshu Whisky Barrel Aged

Explore the remarkable flavor of the Hyakunen Umeshu Whisky Barrel Aged. A whisky that was created out of a great desire to explore the potential of whisky barrels and plum wine. Meiri Shurui celebrated producing plum wine for seven decades in 2022. “Hyakunen Umeshu” was matured in whisky barrels in the same year that the whisky industry was established.

They started maturing the 100 year old plum wine, which is the greatest in Japan, after borrowing whisky barrels aged in Chichibu from Chichibu Distillery, with whom they have a long history of friendship. Hyakunen Umeshu’s raw liquor was matured for a whole year. To emphasize the vanilla scent from the whisky casks and the deep, nuanced sweetness, a thoughtfully chosen raw malt whisky was added at the end. This is the initial attempt to explore the potential of whisky barrels and plum wine.

Its smooth texture and deep aroma of plum wine and whisky barrels are appealing. As soon as it hits your tongue, it tastes rich but never too sweet, leaving a lovely aftertaste. It has an exquisite and delicate sweetness. Aside from the delightful flavor, this release comes with a black elegant box, making it more attractive to whisky lovers and collectors.
