Mars Komagatake Shinshu 2021 Edition Japanese Whisky 700ml | 48% ABV

Mars Komagatake Shinshu 2021 Edition is a single malt from Mars Shinshu, the high-altitude Japanese distillery in Nagano near the Komagatake mountain range. Bottled at 48% ABV, the 2021 edition is generally framed around bourbon and sherry oak influence.

Expect orchard fruit, honeyed sweetness, vanilla and a clean mountain-malt character. It is a useful route into Mars beyond the familiar blended whiskies, especially as a clear view of Komagatake's fruit-led single malt style.
