In September 2020, the Mars Shinshu distillery celebrated a significant milestone by undergoing renovation and expansion, 35 years after its initial establishment. This limited release of Mars 8-year-old whisky is a testament to their rich heritage and innovation. Bottled in 2020, this exquisite Japanese whisky, with an ABV of 48%, exhibits refreshing notes reminiscent of the Shinshu forest and wildflowers. The nose reveals an intriguing bouquet of smoked melon, light gherkin, and peanut butter, transitioning to mineral hints, beetroot, and pepper powder. The aromatic journey concludes with sugar-coated winter melon slices, liquorice, and a whisper of breath mint candy. On the palate, you'll discover a delightful medley of peach, strawberry, and apple juice, complemented by subtle hints of grass and mint. The finish is a harmonious blend of bitterness, light wood, and spices, evolving into sweet herbal notes, liquorice, and peach with its peel. This amber-brown beauty captivates with a multifaceted flavor profile, making it a distinctive and memorable dram.
