The Fuji Single Malt is a contemporary Japanese whisky crafted at the Fuji Gotemba Distillery, located at the foot of Mount Fuji. Inspired by traditional Scotch single malts but given a modern Japanese influence, this release showcases a creative use of casks, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon, beer-aged, and red wine barrels. Guided by Master Blender Jota Tanaka, the result is a layered and estery whisky that balances red fruits, orchard sweetness, and delicate spice. Bottled at 46% ABV, it exemplifies meticulous Japanese craftsmanship with a distinctive Fuji character.
