As I might have mentioned in one or the other of my posts so far, I am currently residing in Japan. This country has a thriving whisky scene, and in recent years Japanese whisky has become rather fashionable around the world, boosting the prices to almost astronomical levels. Frankly, I think that even here in Japan you can get a much better bang for your buck with many Scotch whiskies than with Japanese, but the prices are at least not as crazy as they are abroad. Now, as a resident of this country, my interest in Japanese whiskies is of course sparked, and I think I should give at least some of them a try - so this is what I'm gonna do in this and the following few posts. The first whisky to feature in this series is the Fuji Sanroku 50°, which is produced by the Gotemba distillery at the base of Mount Fuji, and belongs to the Kirin company.
