UMESHU - BARREL AGED

QUANTITY
R 385.00
R 385.00

500ml | 26%

A rare twist on our South African Umeshu, aged for 12 months in an ex-Tiny Batch Whisky barrel. The result is a wonderfully intricate liqueur where rich oak and subtle whisky character meet the signature tartness and sweetness of locally grown plums.

Bottled at 26% ABV, this limited release brings depth and complexity to a Japanese classic, with just 400 bottles available.

A little patience, a little oak, and something truly special.

Something New. Something Old.

For centuries, Japan has celebrated the delicate art of fruit liqueurs — from the rich, plum sweetness of Umeshu to the bright, citrusy character of Yuzushu.

We wanted to bring those ancient flavours to a new home.

Our Japanese Liqueurs take inspiration from these traditional Japanese drinks, but are made right here in South Africa, using locally sourced ingredients and our own approach to craft and flavour.
