Kirin Seagram Crescent Whisky Supreme Japanese Blended Whisky (1980s) (72cl, 43%)

This is a Japanese blended whisky from the 1980s, released under the Kirin Seagram name as Crescent Whisky Supreme. It is bottled at 43% ABV in a 72cl bottle. Kirin-Seagram was a joint venture between Kirin Brewery and Seagram, established in 1972, with the Fuji Gotemba distillery set up in November of the following year. The distillery draws on Fuji's subterranean water and works to a motto of clean and elegant whisky for the Japanese palate. Its equipment is varied, with pot stills alongside kettles and column stills, and Four Roses bourbon casks dominate maturation.
