Description

This is a deep, mature, and aromatic blended whisky from Kirin's Fuji Gotemba Distillery, matured for over 18 years. It is described as watery and smooth, with a powerful taste compared to the standard Fuji Sanroku 50°. It offers sweet, oaky notes on a clear palate, with luscious fruity aromas of pear and prickly pear jams, hints of tart and galette. The mouthfeel is mellow and full-bodied, with pleasant peat flavors and a woody finish with a hint of sweetness.
