Of all the distilleries in the world, what makes Mt. Fuji Distillery the most unique is that it produces grain whiskeys in various flavor styles.
Raw Ingredients: Mainly corn, rye is also used as a secondary ingredient in some cases. In other words, grain mash bill would vary depending on its style.
Fermentation: Yeast is selected from the original yeast stock for each type.
Distillation: In general, grain whiskey is distilled by continuous distillation method by using multiple column stills. This type of grain whiskey is very light in flavor and is commonly used in blended Scotch whisky to support the malt whisky.
From the start of its operations in 1973, not only the production equipment and technology of Scotch malt whisky were adopted, but those of American (Bourbon), Canadian, and Scotch grain whiskeys were also at Mt. Fuji Distillery. By integrating these with Kirin’s brewing technology and expertise in meticulous crafting, we have refined our unique whisky-making style. The challenge was to create whiskies that are neither Scotch nor Bourbon, but rather whisk(e)y that fits the culture and tastes of people living in Japan and enthusiasts around the world who savor that style.
