Japanese Plum Whisky Liqueur (Ume)

Japanese umeshu-style plum liqueur built on a whisky base rather than the traditional shochu base. Green/sour Kishu-Nanko plums and rock sugar macerated in matured Japanese blended whisky for 6-12 months — bright plum, apricot, raisin, honey, and a touch of barrel wood. Lower-proof (15-30% ABV) modifier for cocktails calling for fruit liqueur or rich sherry.
