Fuji Single Blended Japanese Whisky – 70cl 43%

Fuji Single Blended Japanese Whisky is a distinctive and beautifully balanced Japanese whisky produced entirely at the renowned Fuji Gotemba Distillery in Shizuoka, Japan, at the foot of Mount Fuji.

Bottled at 43% ABV and presented in a 70cl bottle, Fuji Single Blended combines carefully selected malt and grain whiskies produced at the same distillery. This unusual approach allows Fuji Gotemba to control the complete character of the whisky, from spirit production through maturation and blending.

Kirin describes the expression as having a silky texture followed by delicate, multi-layered flavours, with the balance between malt and grain whisky forming the quintessential style of its blended whisky.

Elegant, fruit-driven and exceptionally smooth, Fuji Single Blended Japanese Whisky is an excellent introduction to the distinctive whisky-making philosophy of Fuji Gotemba and a fascinating expression for established Japanese whisky enthusiasts.

What Is a Single Blended Japanese Whisky?

The term Single Blended Whisky is particularly important to understanding this bottle.

A conventional blended whisky can combine malt and grain whiskies originating from different distilleries.

A Single Blended Whisky, however, combines malt and grain whiskies produced at a single distillery.

In the case of Fuji Single Blended, both the malt and grain components are made at Fuji Gotemba Distillery. Kirin notes that producing both malt and grain at the same distillery enables this comparatively rare style of whisky.

All of the components share the same Fuji environment and production heritage before being brought together through the distillery's blending expertise.

The result is a whisky that combines the depth and character of malt whisky with the elegance, fruit and texture of Fuji's diverse grain whiskies.

Malt & Three Styles of Grain Whisky

One of the most interesting aspects of Fuji Single Blended Japanese Whisky is the diversity of spirit available to its blending team.

Specialist distributor BBC Spirits describes the whisky as combining Fuji's malt whisky with the three styles of grain whisky produced at Fuji Gotemba.

This diversity allows the blender to build layers of fruit, sweetness, texture and complexity while maintaining the elegant character associated with the Fuji range.

Rather than relying on whisky sourced from multiple distilleries, the component whiskies originate from the same Fuji Gotemba production environment.

Cask Maturation

The whisky is matured in a selection of American oak casks.

BBC Spirits identifies the maturation as including:

New American White Oak Casks
Ex-Bourbon Barrels
Refill Barrels

These casks complement the naturally fruit-forward characteristics of the malt and grain whiskies while introducing vanilla, sweetness and gentle oak influence.
