Single Malt Whisky Komagatake Edition 2023 Mars Whisky
  • Limited-edition, annually released single malt Japanese whisky from Mars Komagatake Distillery (FKA Mars Shinshu) in Nagano, Japan
  • 2023 release of Komagatake Single Malt
  • 100% malted barley, very lightly peated (average 3.5 ppm or lower)
  • Minimum 3 years old; aged in ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and ex-Port wine casks
  • A nose of petrichor, peaches and cream, lemon cakes, and milk chocolate lead to a palate of stone fruit, dried mango, and bittersweet chocolate with notes of sandalwood on the finish
  • Non-chill filtered; 50% ABV

This year’s release of Komagatake single malt leans into the lush and bright fruit indicative of the distillery’s house style. Complex, cohesive, and approachable, 2023 is a great year for enjoying single malt from Nagano.

"A heady cloud of swirling spices and tangy citrus greets the nose with grapefruit, lime zest, candied orange, lemon peel, ground pepper, crystalized ginger, chantilly cream, and pencil shavings. Apple, pear, persimmon, malt, and vanilla flavors, with lime Jell-O, ginger, clove, and pepper, then chocolate and coffee notes to finish. There's plenty of Japanese whisky character here, yet it also has excellent properties for Highballs and cocktails."
