Kirin Fuji: Japanese excellence at the foot of Mount Fuji

Located at an altitude of 620 meters, the Fuji Gotemba distillery enjoys an exceptional setting, at the foot of the legendary Mount Fuji , in the city of Gotemba. Founded in 1972 by the Kirin group, it is one of the largest distilleries in Japan, capable of producing both malt and grain whiskies. This unique site is distinguished by its cool and humid climate, similar to that of Scotland, providing ideal conditions for the slow and controlled aging of whisky. Pure water filtered from the volcanic slopes of Mount Fuji is a precious resource that gives finesse and balance to Kirin spirits. The Kirin Fuji brand has distinguished itself internationally thanks to high-quality expressions, notably the Single Grain 25 Year Old , voted the best grain whisky in the world at the World Whiskies Awards in 2016. This prestigious award is a testament to the exceptional know-how of Japanese master blenders. Combining Scottish tradition and Japanese innovation, Kirin Fuji offers a subtle and elegant range, which perfectly reflects the purity and harmony of its terroir of origin.
