Description

• This limited edition single malt is Mars Shinshu’s first step in creating a house style for their extremely succesful Komagatake line. We will see variations of this limited single malt release again in 2019 and 2020 as they progress toward an official, house-style Komagatake Single Malt in 2021. While still young at 3-6 years aged, this whisky consists of barrels aged on the top shelf of their rack house where the maturation happens quickest due to the warmer temperature. The casks are majority ex-bourbon followed by new American oak and sherry cask. The malt is lightly peated at 3.5 PPM.

  The "2021 Edition" is a 2021 limited bottled single malt whiskey that is aged in bourbon barrels and sherry barrels.
  Like previous editions this is an elegant whisky, the flagship of Mars Single Malts. Aromas of honey, and oranges zest with flavors of ripe persimmon and chestnut. Tasting reveals prune, honey, and vanilla on the nose and sweet orange on the palate accompanied by developing cocoa powder. The finish is long, gentle, and sweet. A beautiful amber hue, this whisky is sure to delight.
