Kirin is, along with Asahi, the major maker of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages in Japan. Although not a whisky specialist as such, it does nonetheless participate in the whisky market. In fact, Kirin has a distillery at the foot of Mt. Fuji - Japan's sacred mountain. The name Fuji Sankoru translates as ‘at the foot of Mt. Fuji’, and the 18 year old is the cream of the crop. Produced at Fuji Gotemba Distillery. It has a very surprising richness and a deep fruity and woody aroma, we recommend that you give it a try.
