津貫 Mars Tsunuki 5 Year Old 2018 for Lucky Choice The Dragon Awakes

A Tsunuki whisky selected by Lucky Choice, matured in Sherry Puncheon with a peat level of 50ppm, featuring a deep red label with an Eastern-style dragon design, serves as the first release in "The Dragon Awakes" Japanese whisky series. Future releases in the series will include Akkeshi, Chichibu, Nagahama, and Shizuoka whiskies.Lucky Choice is a group of whisky enthusiasts from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Japan, and this particular version is mainly distributed in mainland China, hence the back label is in simplified Chinese to meet import requirements.

The aroma carries a distinct peatiness, an iodine-like scent, and a smoky, salty fragrance like smoked salami, alongside cinnamon spice. Beneath the smokiness and saltiness lies a syrupy sweetness and a cool hint of mint. On the palate, a burst of sweet and salty flavors, with cinnamon spice, oak, and a trace of sulphur. The finish lingers with a sweet-salty taste, cinnamon notes, and a prolonged impression of charred wood and tar.

Mars Tsunuki

Mars Tsunuki Distillery is located in the mountainous basin of southern Kagoshima, the birthplace of Hombo Shuzo with over a century of distilling heritage. The area’s hot summers and surprisingly cold winters create ideal conditions for rapid whisky maturation, producing bold and complex flavors. The distillery draws its soft water from a tributary of the Manose River, adding finesse to its whisky profile.

Since opening in 2016, Mars Tsunuki has focused on crafting robust single malt whiskies, often matured in sherry and bourbon casks. These expressions typically offer notes of spice, dried fruit, and caramel. With its unique southern terroir and precise craftsmanship, Tsunuki has become a key figure in Japan’s southern whisky scene.
