Fuji Distillery in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Named World's Best Grain Whisky at the 2020 World Whiskies Awards — a title the distillery has claimed four times in five years — this expression stands as a benchmark for the grain whisky category worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 46%  |  Origin: Gotemba, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan  |  Single Grain  |  Distillery: Mt.

Fuji Distillery sits between 7.5 and 12 kilometers from the base of Mt. Fuji in Gotemba, drawing on the region's pristine water sources. What sets this facility apart globally is its use of three distinct distillation methods: multi-column stills, beer column and doubler stills, and kettle stills — the only kettle and doubler combination operating outside the United States. This allows the distillery to produce light, medium, and heavy grain spirit types from a mashbill of corn and malted barley, with rye incorporated for the heavy component. The three styles are then blended to create the final single grain expression, yielding a complexity rare in the grain whisky category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Poached pear arrives first, followed by rustic fruit tart and marron glacé.

The finish is long, resolving into orange peel and dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Fuji Single Grain compare to Old Grand-Dad bourbon?\u003c\/strong\u003e Reviewers who have compared the two side by side note that Fuji Single Grain is less aggressive, delivering more nuance and fruitiness with less heat and spice than Old Grand-Dad. The comparison is relevant because Mt. Fuji Distillery uses American-style kettle and doubler stills — the only such setup outside the U.S. — giving its heavy grain component a bourbon-adjacent character with Japanese refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Fuji Single Grain good for sipping neat?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 46% ABV with a thick, soft mouthfeel and evolving flavor layers, Fuji Single Grain is built for neat sipping.

Grilled duck breast complements the pear and berry fruit layers. Aged Gruyère or Comté cheese matches the rye spice and caramel sweetness. Poached pear desserts echo the dominant aroma. Smoked salmon provides a savory contrast to the marmalade and dulce de leche richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Fuji Single Grain come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey is available in the standard 750ml bottle size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Fuji Single Grain worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuji Single Grain positions as a premium Japanese whisky expression, and its repeated World's Best Grain Whisky wins at the World Whiskies Awards — four times in five years — place it among the most decorated grain whiskies at any price point. For a 46% ABV, non-chill filtered Japanese grain whisky with this level of critical recognition, it represents strong value within the premium tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Fuji Single Grain?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo other grain whisky distillery in the world operates three distinct still types — multi-column, kettle, and beer column with doubler — under one roof. That production range, combined with a mashbill that incorporates corn, malted barley, and rye across light, medium, and heavy spirit styles, gives Fuji Single Grain a layered complexity that most grain whiskies simply cannot achieve. Four World's Best Grain Whisky titles in five years at the World Whiskies Awards, plus a Gold Medal at the 2020 International Spirits Challenge, confirm what the glass already tells you: this is grain whisky operating at the top of its category.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839071350953,"sku":"37827","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Fuji-Single-Grain-Japanese-Whiskey__37062.jpg?v=1730516782"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/fuji.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
