Umeshu Yamazaki Cask

Durch das Reifen in Whiskyfässern erhält der Umeshu Yamazaki Cask sehr spezielle Noten von Holz und Vanille in Kombination mit fruchtigen Komponenten der Ume. Zum Einsatz kommen nur lokale Früchte ohne Verwendung von Farbstoffen oder anderen Zusätzen. Aromen von Mandeln, Aprikose und getrockneten Früchten runden den ausgewogenen Geschmack dieses Umeshu ab. Besonders köstlich wird dieser Premium-Likör durch einen kleinen Anteil an Whisky (5 Prozent), er erlangt hierdurch eine perfekte Abstimmung zwischen Süße und Säure. Beim Finish lassen sich leichte Noten des Whiskyfasses erkennen. Dieser Umeshu wird in den traditionellen Whisky-Flaschen von Suntory in der Yamazaki-Destillerie abgefüllt. Die Ume wird oft als japanische Pflaume bezeichnet, ist botanisch betrachtet aber eine Aprikosenart.

Umeshu ist in Japan ein beliebtes und traditionelles Getränk, wird straight, on the rocks oder, vor allem im Sommer, verlängert mit Sodawasser getrunken. Der Umeshu Yamazaki Cask sorgt für eine wahre Geschmacksexplosion im Mund.

Suntory is one of the five largest spirits producers in the world and Japan's largest whisky producer with a market share of 70%. The company was founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii and is one of the oldest in the distribution of alcoholic beverages. Originally, Suntory was a brewery and distillery, but the business areas were constantly expanded. Today, Suntory produces almost everything, from coffee and soft drinks to fine wines, alcopops, beer, ice cream and flowers. The company is headquartered in Osaka. In April 2014, Suntory bought the spirits giant Beam Inc. for 13.6 billion dollars. Since then, the company has been represented in Germany as Beam Suntory. The Suntory Group includes brands such as Laphroaig, Maker's Mark, Canadian Club, Sauza Tequila and the German winery Robert Weil. However, Suntory became known beyond Japan for its excellent whiskies such as Yamazaki and Hibiki. The Yamazaki single malt was launched in 1984 and won the gold medal at the International Spirit Competition (ISC) in the UK for the first time in 2003 and has since been celebrated as the best-selling Japanese single malt. Suntory ISC has won the coveted "Distiller of the Year" award several times in a row. Nowadays, the company can hardly save itself from prizes for its great whiskies. Suntory also became famous through the film "Lost in Translation" by Sofia Coppola with Bill Murray in the leading role. This is where the famous quote "For relaxing times make it Suntory time!" came from, which Bill Murray had to recite in a commercial for Hibiki 17. Many claim that this is where the boom in Japanese whisky really began.
