Mars Shinshu 3 Year Old 2013 Komagatake Tsunuki Aging for 100th Anniversary of Yamakataya Cask 5108

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.

Mars Komagatake Tsunuki Aging was also distilled at Shinshu, but it was then transferred to Tsunuki Distillery for aging process, which is also owned by Hombo Shuzo Co. The unique climate allows whisky to obtain a more mature, and complex flavour in a short period of time, some people can’t even guess it is a young whisky after taking a sip. Tsunuki Aging is a limited release for Yamakataya Department Store, only 210 bottles are available.
