Mars Komagatake 2023 Edition

Enhance your whisky experience with Mars Komagatake 2023 Edition, expertly crafted at the Mars Shinshu Distillery, nestled at the base of Mt. Komagatake in the Central Alps mountain range, surrounded by pristine water sources and abundant natural beauty. This exclusive single malt whisky is presented in a limited edition for the year 2023, skillfully blending bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and port cask-aged whisky to achieve a harmonious composition.

The whisky reveals a deep amber hue that entices the senses. Approaching the glass, you’ll be met with an enchanting aroma that unfolds in layers. Complex notes of apricot, orange peel, and hints of banana lead the way, gradually transforming into a profound and refined scent reminiscent of black tea. On the palate, the dried plum essence evolves into flavors akin to hazelnut or maple syrup, a gift from the sherry casks. The mellow sweetness, akin to ripened persimmons, gracefully envelops the palate. The finish is enduring and meditative, leaving a rich and tender impression, with a smooth and pleasing flavor that lingers.

This limited edition release is not just a whisky; it’s a collector’s treasure and a connoisseur’s delight. Embrace the essence of Japanese whisky excellence with Mars Komagatake 2023 Edition. Secure your bottle now and immerse yourself in the narrative of this exceptional and uniquely crafted whisky.

Shinshu Distillery was founded in Nagano Prefecture in 1984 by Hombo Brewing, a Japanese Shochu maker from Kagoshima Prefecture. The distillery, which used to produce whisky only during winter, also produced other distilled liquors, such as brandy. In 1992, it stopped producing whisky due to low demand. After the recovery of the whisky market in 2007, production resumed in 2011.At a height of 798 metres above sea level, Mars Shinshu is the highest distillery in Japan. The whisky, which is made from water that has passed through granite and contains plenty of natural minerals, has a rich and balanced flavor.A short while after its revival, Mars Maltage 3+25 earned the title of World's Best Blended Malt Whisky at the WWA. The distinction stunned the whisky industry both internationally and in Japan.
In 2016, Hombo Shuzo reopened and introduced new pot stills to their first distillery location in Kagoshima now known as the Mars Tsunuki Distillery, once again Japan’s southernmost distillery. They also built an aging facility on a tiny island known as Yakushima, a National World Heritage site, where they now age spirits from both Shinshu and Tsunuki distilleries.
