Mars Shinshu Iwai Tradition Japanese Whisky (750ML)

• Blended Japanese whisky from Mars Komagatake (FKA Mars Shinshu) in Nagano, Japan • Distilled from 30% corn and 70% very lightly peated malted barley (3.5 PPM or less) • Aged primarily in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks (other cask types including ex-wine, port, & new oak may vary batch to batch); non-age statement • Proofed with Nagano’s soft, alpine water • The nose introduces clove and wildflower honey with just a hint of earthy peat before transitioning to nougat and milk chocolate on the palate; cinnamon gracefully joins this restrained chocolate note on the finish • Non-chill filtered; 40% ABV Iwai [E•Y] Tradition, a malt-driven spirit that incorporates a very small amount of peat, is an accessible and compelling entry point to the world of Mars’s Nagano-produced distillates and to Japanese whisky at large. Enjoy neat, with a touch of water, or in a classic highball.
