Everything we have from Kirin Fuji
Click on a bottle for the rest of the details.
One of the few houses that does everything itself
At Fuji Gotemba everything happens on one site: fermenting, distilling, maturing, blending and bottling. Malt and grain both come from the house itself, and that makes the blend an honest story.
We have the Fuji Blended in stock. If you are not sure whether this is the bottle for you, give us a call. That is what we are here for.

Fuji Gotemba is in Gotemba in Shizuoka Prefecture, at an altitude of about 620 metres on the south-eastern side of Mount Fuji. That spot was chosen for its cool, less humid climate. The water comes from three of the site’s own springs, fed by the mountain.
The distillery began in 1973 as a collaboration between Kirin, Seagram and Chivas Brothers; both foreign partners have since left. What remained is an unusual set-up: besides six pot stills in different shapes there are three different installations for grain whisky, which produce light, medium and heavy grain distillate.
As a result, the house can put together a blend made only from its own distillate. Fermenting, distilling, maturing, blending and bottling all happen in the same place.
Three kinds of grain whisky from one house: you rarely come across that.
