Fuji Whiskey Single Grain

FUJI Japanese Whiskey Single Grain

I was fortunate enough to do a guided tasting of FUJI Whiskey’s Single Grain Whiskey earlier this week. Despite being the third-largest whiskey producer in Japan (behind Suntory and Nikka) and owned by Kirin Beer which is widely available in the United States, they just entered the US market at the end of 2021.

What took them so long? Well, there are a lot of reasons. The USA takes up 35% of the world’s whiskey market but Japanese whiskey only accounts for 3% of that, a number that FUJI is hoping to change. So, is the hype real? In short, I believe so.

It is a 92-proof blend of three types of grain whiskeys and it’s distilled using pure snowmelt glacier water from Japan’s Mt. Fuji. The FUJI Whiskey distillery actually sits at the base of the mountain just 7.5 miles away from the peak. The water in this whiskey makes a 50-year journey from the peak to the distillery’s aquifer and is filtered and purified by mother nature along the way.

Kentucky has its limestone, Champagne has its chalk caves, and FUJI Whiskey has this divine water sent from the heavens to make a 50-year journey to the bottle. It’s hard to not feel a little poetic when you really think about that journey of the water straight to your drink.

The three grain whiskeys in the FUJI Single Grain are a Bourbon-heavy style with a high rye mash bill, a Canadian style, and a Scotch style. FUJI’s Single Grain doesn’t have a listed age statement but the average age in the bottle is over 8 years old and close to 9 years old with the blend consisting of some 5-year, some 15-year whiskey, and some whiskey close to 20 years.

The nose is rich with stone fruits of pear and fruit tart followed by some spicy rye and soothing orange marmalade on the palate. And a mellow but flavorful finish of ‘exotic intense wood’ which comes from the new charred oak first fill bourbon barrels from their sister distillery, Four Roses.

FUJI’s Single Grain Whiskey has an MSRP of $94.95 and at that ‘FIND’ button below you’ll be able to track it down near you. It’s available at three stores in my area so I’m guessing you’ll be able to easily find it near you as well.
