      A 50-year story of malt mastery in a single pour.

      Marking half a century of Kirin’s FUJI Gotemba Distillery, this 50th Anniversary Single Malt is a rare and commanding release. Just 3,000 bottles exist globally, drawn from casks spanning 1973—the distillery’s founding year—through to whiskies aged up to 50 years. Master Blender Jota Tanaka, a Whisky Hall of Famer, has curated a malt blend of immense depth and detail.

      The whisky’s structure comes from a medley of ex-Bourbon, beer-aged, Oloroso Sherry, and red wine casks, each contributing to its nuanced profile. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 52% ABV, it delivers a vivid, unvarnished snapshot of Fuji’s malt-making prowess—rich, expressive, and shaped by time.

      Expect a palate laced with dried stone fruit, caramelised sugars, and textured oak, unfolding sip by sip with impressive clarity and length. This is Japanese single malt in its most mature, celebratory form.

      Fuji Gotemba

      Mt. Fuji has been a sacred and inspirational landmark in Japan for countless generations. Throughout Japan's history, Mt. Fuji has been a symbol of faith and a wellspring of artistic inspiration.

      Mt. Fuji has long inspired art and reverence around the world and is home to Fuji Whisky. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Fuji-Gotemba Distillery has been pursuing the ideal whisky for many years. The beautiful experience created by JAPANESE WHISKY FUJI brings joy to life and sparks unforgettable moments of inspiration. Fuji Whisky embodies the captivating Mt. Fuji's natural beauty and the enduring tradition of craftsmanship. It's a fusion of these elements that creates a sense of "hope."

      The natural environment around Mt. Fuji is blessed with lush forests, crystal clear water, and pure air. FUJI whiskies are delicately fruity and mellow, and have been nurtured over time in this environment, with its unique climate and terroir. Mt. Fuji Distillery is nestled at the foot of Mt. Fuji, 620 meters (2,035 feet) above sea level and 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from its peak. Since this is a misty area, Mt. Fuji can only be seen about 1/3 of the year, despite being at such a close distance. The high humidity maintained by a year-round blanket of fog, a cool highland climate with a yearly average temperature of 13℃ (55℉), and air purified by the forests at the foot of the majestic mountain has been combining to form its climate and terroir around the distillery. This natural environment, the cool highland climate with moderate temperature changes and high humidity, is ideal for making whisky. Because of this climate and terroir, the whisk(e)y produced at Mt. Fuji Distillery is mellow, and delicately fruity on the palate.

      Since 1973, Fuji-Gotemba distillery has pioneered and created, combining whisky-making techniques from three countries into one distillery.
      The renowned Fuji brand, emblem of the distinctiveness of Fuji-Gotemba distillery, has given rise to three unique styles: Single grain, Single Malt, and Single Blended.
