Kaikyo Hatozaki 12 Year Old Umeshu Cask Finish (70cl, 46%)

Kaikyo Hatozaki 12 Year Old Umeshu Cask Finish is a whisky. Aged 12 years, bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl. The Kaikyo distillery is located on the same site as the Akashi Sake Brewery (founded by the Yonezawa family) which has been distilling since 1918. To mark their first century of distilling, the company decided to replace all of their old steel stills with new copper pot stills. A new stillhouse was built for these new stills and the building was called the Kaikyo Distillery, named after the Akashi-Kaiygo bridge that lies in front of the distillery. The aim that Kaikyo have set out is to produce a light, fruity spirit that will age well. The whisky is named after the Hatozaki lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in Japan. The liquid is aged in many different cask types, including sherry, bourbon and Mizunara oak, imparting a complex flavour profile. Please note creasing to carton.
