Hatozaki Whisky has unveiled its Hatozaki Triple Cask Reserve, a limited-release whisky that emphasizes Japanese tradition blended with innovation. Crafted by Master Distiller Kimio Yonezawa, this expression undergoes a unique triple-cask aging process, incorporating ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry, and Umeshu plum liqueur casks. This final maturation in Umeshu casks imparts distinct fruity notes and subtle sweetness. The whisky, priced at $74.99 per 750ml in the U.S., promises an elegant experience with layers of flavor, reflecting a deep-rooted commitment to craftsmanship and innovation in whisky production.
According to Yonezawa, "Finishing a whisky in Umeshu plum liqueur barrels is rare in the whisky world, and I wanted to explore how the flavorful plum liqueur influence would transform the blend. The intense plum aromas add a layer of depth and subtle sweetness that sets it apart."
The whisky's thoughtful blend and triple-cask aging technique gives it both character and depth, incorporating sweetness from ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry barrels, enhanced by Umeshu plum liqueur.
