Fuji Gotemba Tarujyuku 50°

Fuji Gotemba Tarujyuku 50 Degrees is a blended whisky from Kirin's Fuji Gotemba distillery in Shizuoka prefecture, bottled at 50% for the German market in a 600 ml format. Tarujyuku, meaning barrel-ripened in Japanese, signals a blend assembled from the distillery's own malt and grain whiskies with an emphasis on the wood's contribution to the final character.

Matured in Ex-Bourbon casks, the blend draws on American oak for vanilla and gentle fruit, with the grain component's clean structure carrying the palate through to the finish. No specific flavour profile was declared for this expression. At 50%, the bottling sits at the cask strength boundary, giving a direct and lightly concentrated delivery that reflects the Fuji Gotemba house style's characteristic precision and warmth.
