FUJI Japanese Whisky
Blended
FUJI // Japan
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.

Tasting Notes
"The nose and palate is pleasantly oaky, with additional aromas of toffee, sweet spices, and pear on the nose. The medium weight palate carries a flavor of cooked grain earthiness like pearled barley (the type that goes into soup) mixed with a subtle fruitiness, and hit of sweet spices as it goes down. A touch of heat sneaks into the finish, which is more on the earthy than sweet side. "
