Single Malt Whisky, Japan / Honshu – Nagano

After its two stills were replaced in 2014, the Mars Shinshu distillery was equipped with three Douglas Pine washbacks in 2018, and then between 2019 and 2020 with a new washback and stainless steel mash tun as well as a new warehouse. Matured in the hot and warm climate of the island of Yakushima, this version is peated to 20 ppm and reveals a palette of deeply uanced yellows, greens, browns and blacks that wonderfully highlight the malt’s mature expression.
