FUJI Single Malt Japanese Whisky Review
A new core product from the Gotemba-based FUJI distillery, the brand’s first single malt released to the U.S. was worth the wait. It’s made from 100 percent Japanese malt, distilled on a copper pot still, and aged in American oak barrels and French oak red wine barrels. There’s a lot going on here: fresh-cut flowers, peaches, tropical fruits, citrus zest, honey, and caramel. A brand to watch in the category for sure.
