A 10 year old Japanese whisky from Monde Shuzo, released in partnership with Whiskies du Monde. Fujikai takes its name from the fact that Monde Shuzo, a winery that also produces the Isawa whiskies, is located at the base of Mount Fuji in what was the Kai Province (Kai-no-kuni). Limited to 8,808 bottles and matured in bourbon casks, it's unclear exactly when this whisky was distilled.
Nose: Vegetal and musky, thyme, iodine, acetone, a hint of vanilla and shochu.
Palate: Peat, geranium leaf, dried herbs, green apple and walnut.
Finish: Drying with some dark spices.
Overall: Unique and a little sharp in places, but bound to sell out fairly quickly.

I bought this on a whim based on how horrific the reviews made it out to be, figuring it would be terrible or great, but unique either way. I can confirm that this is terrible. It tastes more like bad sochu than bad whisky, and it really brings nothing worth mentioning to the palate. The nose is all wet trainers and gym mats.

If you can imagine what liquid, burnt leather, with a hint of that smell you get from going inside a shoe shop, tastes like... then you can imagine what this whisky tastes like.Avoid at all cost, this is by far the worst whisky I've ever had.

This is a legitimately terrible whisky. Awful. Almost tastes like melted tires. Some of the reviews suggest if you have it with something different, it's good - but neat or with water is awful.

In an age of wonderful Japanese whiskies - this is NOT one. The harsh vegetals render this undrinkable to my taste. I believe this is either through insufficient or poorly presented exposure to the copper of the still or a mistimed cut. Avoid but don't let it put you off Japanese whisky. Glad some reviewers liked it variety is the spice of life.

I've been a fan of Japanese whisky for many years & this is the first i couldn't finish, despite forking out £7 for 25ml! i reckon "Don't" got the tasting notes spot on.

Don't agree with some of the reviews. Not the best Japanese whisky, more smokey than most. But def. worth a taste, i liked it!

Excellent with sushi!

No matter the whisky, i have always managed to finish the glass.....until now. Fujikai 10 year old is simply so revolting that after 2 sips, i poured it down the sink. Taste is subjective but unless you particularly like licking diesel out of a sweaty man's navel, avoid this cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of Japanese whisky.

If you like the taste of burned plastic with a hint of rubber then this is for you.
