Mars Whisky
Single Malt Whisky, 'Komagatake Edition 2024'
Single Malt Whisky, 'Komagatake Edition 2024'
This limited edition single malt is Mars Shinshu’s first step in creating a house style for their extremely succesful Komagatake line. We will see variations of this limited single malt release again in 2019 and 2020 as they progress toward an official, house-style Komagatake Single Malt in 2021. While still young at 3-6 years aged, this whisky consists of barrels aged on the top shelf of their rack house where the maturation happens quickest due to the warmer temperature. The casks are majority ex-bourbon followed by new American oak and sherry cask. The malt is lightly peated at 3.5 PPM.

"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."
