History of the distillery

In 2016, the Hombo Shuzo group inaugurated an aging cellar on the subtropical island of Yakushima dedicated to barrels from its Komagatake and Tsunuki distilleries. This unique place, with a humid and iodized climate, favours a slow and expressive maturation, giving the whiskies a personality marked by the marine influence and the aromatic complexity specific to the island environment.

Whisky Overview

This peated Japanese single malt at 20 ppm has been aged for 8 years in an Oloroso Sherry Hogshead. Bottled at 58.4% in single cask #2067, it reveals the encounter between the delicate peat and the roundness of the sherry cask. The limited edition of 204 bottles embodies a balance between intensity and elegance, emblematic of the Mars style and ageing in a subtropical climate.

Tasting notes

Its delicate and precise aromatic and taste palette evolves from greedy nuances to malty and herbaceous notes. The peat expresses itself with complexity — at once smoky, tarry, saline, iodized and animal — like a refined common thread throughout the tasting.

Mars

Originally from Japan, the Mars distillery has a history as tumultuous as it is out of the ordinary. Its founder is none other than Kiichiro Iwai, the man behind the departure for Scotland of the famous Masataka Taketsuru and especially owner of a spirits company producing shochu (Japanese brandy). The Shinshu Mars distillery enjoys an exceptional geographical location offering its whisky a singular character.
