Released to commemorate 50 years of whisky-making at Fuji Gotemba (est. 1973), this limited single malt showcases the distillery’s elegant, fruit-driven house style in a richer, celebratory way. Bottled at 52% ABV, it combines complexity with poise, an impressive single-malt from a producer better known, until recently, for its award-winning grain whiskies. 

Availability is limited, so try this excellent release from Kirin while you still can.

Tasting Notes

On The Nose

Abundant fruit and florals; lychee, mango syrup, vanilla cream, dried flowers, caramel, with a touch of white pepper.

On The Palate

Thick and velvety; ripe apricot, butterscotch, malt sweetness, apple-crumble warmth, caramel, and a gentle lift of white pepper.

The Finish

Long, creamy and moreish with lingering notes of toffee apple and spice.
