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.
Vegetal and musky, thyme, iodine, acetone, a hint of vanilla and shochu.
Peat, geranium leaf, dried herbs, green apple and walnut.
Drying with some dark spices.
Unique and a little sharp in places, but bound to sell out fairly quickly.
I just love it. Sake meets Whisky.
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.
