The Single Malt Tsunuki has been in production since 2016 and began its journey around the world in 2020. Now in its fifth production year, the whiskies are maturing well. For the second bottling, the Tsunuki distillery has chosen to highlight the peatiness of the whisky, which was previously more subtle. The nose offers notes of peat and honey, followed by barley and crisp apple. The sweet and smoky flavors continue through to the finish. This single malt is the second bottling from the Tsunuki distillery and is bottled at 50% ABV. It has an elegant and well-balanced character, with a beautiful peaty finish. The use of local malted barley and pure water from the Southern Kyushu region contributes to the unique flavor profile of this whisky. The Tsunuki distillery, part of the renowned Tsunuki brand, is known for its commitment to traditional whisky-making methods and attention to detail, resulting in a high-quality product that is sure to please whisky enthusiasts, with a limited release of only 14,830 bottles.
The ABV is 50%, ensuring a robust and full-bodied whisky experience.
Only 14,830 bottles were produced, making it a limited edition release.
This whisky features prominent peaty and smoky notes, complemented by hints of honey, barley, crisp apple, and a touch of spice on the finish.
While it has significant peatiness, it doesn’t quite reach the levels of an Islay whisky but still offers a dominant peaty profile.
Adding water makes the whisky milder and sweeter, bringing out flavors of malt cookies.
Reviewers appreciate the pronounced peatiness of the Mars Tsunuki Peated 2016, likening it to the smoky characteristics of Islay whiskies, although it doesn't quite reach the same intensity. The nose is rich with smoke, iodine, and hints of apricot and vanilla. The palate follows with notes of peat smoke, campfire, and light stone fruit. The finish is peppery and phenolic. With the addition of water, the whisky becomes milder, revealing sweet malt cookie notes. Overall, it's considered a well-executed peated whisky that stands out in the Japanese whisky category.
