【Product Introduction: A Splendid Interweaving of Whisky Soul and Cherry Blossom Aroma】

"Rich Amber," as its name suggests, boasts a magnificent amber hue. This plum liqueur is not merely a sweet fruit wine; it is a sophisticated work of blending art. Suntory blenders aged the plum liqueur in toasted whisky casks from the Yamazaki Distillery, absorbing vanilla and woody notes from the oak barrels.

Most captivating is the addition of cherry cask-aged plum liqueur (genshu), which imparts an elegant cherry blossom fragrance and a subtle bittersweetness; this is further enhanced by the addition of aged malt whisky to boost its structure and finish. Its 20% alcohol content allows it to exhibit a depth and richness rarely found in ordinary plum liqueurs, whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.

【Tasting Notes】

• Nose: The initial impression is a rich, sweet aroma of ripe plums, followed by elegant cherry blossom petals, honey, and the characteristic malt and vanilla notes of Yamazaki whisky.

• Palate: Full-bodied and smooth. The sweet and sour notes of plum are perfectly balanced with the woody tannins from the whisky barrel. The cherry wood cask brings subtle spice and almond-like nutty flavors, creating rich layers.

• Finish: The finish is long and mellow. It leaves behind a pleasant fruity acidity, a hint of cherry blossom, and the warm afterglow of whisky.
