ELUSIVE UMAMI is a limited-edition whisky that embraces the world of taste in a pioneering expression from Blue Label, inspired by one of the world’s most hard-to-define and alluring profiles: UMAMI.
Master Blender Emma Walker and World-Renowned Chef Kei Kobayashi have joined forces and years of expertise to create this exquisite Blended Scotch Whisky.
Selected casks from inland and costal distilleries are hand-picked at the height of their maturation for their unique umami profile - only one in 25,000 casks succeeds in bringing this elusive character to life.
A beautifully balanced Scotch of sweet and savoury flavours, with notes of blood oranges and red berries, a touch of smoked meat, warming salt and pepper with a long, sweet fruit finish.
