A light, alluring malt aroma with a delicate touch of buttered toast. The palate is round, smooth, and almost creamy. Abundant sweet malt and mild wood notes are present, with no smoke. It's more akin to a Canadian whisky than American or Scotch, and distinct from other reviewed FUJI whiskies. Highly drinkable, yet no single flavor dominates. An excellent spirit, ideal for a Japanese Highball.

About this bottle
FUJI Japanese Whisky is entirely distilled and aged in Japan at Mt. Fuji Distillery, which can produce malt whisky and three distinct types of grain whisky: American-style (60% corn, 35% rye, 5% malted barley), Canadian-style (95% rye, 5% malted barley), and light Scottish-style (95% corn, 5% malted barley). Master Blender Jota Tanaka blended these grain whiskies with malt whisky, aged in American white oak barrels with a medium char/toast. The whiskies average 7 years in age, with some up to 16 years. It is bottled at 43% ABV and became available in select US markets in May 2023. (SRP $70)

Reviews

A light, velvety texture, almost silky with a slight fuzz. Strong cinnamon upfront with a background of orange peel, especially when diluted.
Mild flavor, not overly sweet.
