Fukano Rice Edition #2019 Japanese Whisky

A rare Japanese whisky crafted using rice as the primary fermentable grain, rather than the typical barley or corn. This approach gives the spirit a lighter, subtly sweet profile with delicate floral and umami notes. Distilled and matured in small batches, Fukano Rice Whisky highlights Japan’s tradition of innovation, blending classical whisky techniques with local ingredients. It is smooth, approachable, and uniquely aromatic, making it stand out among Japanese whiskies.
