Mars Komagatake Limited Edition 2018

Owned by Hombo Shuzo Co., Shinshu Mars Distillery was founded in 1985 at Nagano, and is officially the first open whisky distillery from the company, it produces well-known whiskies under the name of Mars. In recent years, Shinshu Mars Distillery produced some young but high quality whisky, which were mainly matured in American White Oak casks. We truly admire and fall in love with this highest whisky distillery in Japan.Every year we look forward to the new limited edition, this year Mars Komagatake Limited Edition 2018 is assembled by different young whisky. It is different from the older limited editions (the Nature of Shinshu), which were composed by both young and old single malts. The blending of American White Oak casks and Bourbon barrels provides hints of vanilla notes and chrysanthemum. This bottle with no doubt reflects the characters of Shinshu, and it is a decent bottle which allows you to know about Shinshu.
