A walk through and brief history of two of the more obscure distilleries in Japan. Kirin/Fuji-Gotemba, opening in 1972 and still producing today – their offering is a 50% blended whisky made from stock all of their own. Mars Shinshu on the other hand, this is a 52%, peated Japanese whisky with a troublesome history. Based on the flavours though, the future is bright. The future is Mars…but it’ll cost you.
