About this bottle

FUJI Japanese Whisky is 100% distilled and aged in Japan at Mt. Fuji Distillery. Uniquely, the distillery is capable of creating malt whisky and three different styles of grain whisky — an American-style made with 60% corn, 35% rye, 5% malted barley; a Canadian-style made with 95% rye and 5% malted barley; and a light Scottish-style made with 95% corn and 5% malted barley. Master Blender Jota Tanaka blended these three grain whiskies with malt whisky which were aged in American white oak barrels with a medium char/toast. Average age for the whiskies was 7 years and includes some aged up to 16 years. Bottled at 43% ABV, it's available in select US markets beginning May 2023. (SRP $70)

GoodSpiritsNews 3.8

Light and sensuous malt nose, with a delicate hint of buttered toast. On the palate, things are round, smooth and almost creamy. Lots of sweet malt and mild wood, with no smoke. Akin more to a Canadian whisky than American or Scottish, this is something entirely unlike other FUJI whiskies we've reviewed. Very drinkable, but at the same time, no one flavor aspect stands out. A fine spirit that is perfect for a Japanese Highball.

Light velvety texture almost silky witha fuzz. Strong cinnamon front with a backdrop of orange peel especially when diluted.
