The Mars Tsunuki Single Malt Japanese Whisky is a distinctive creation from the Tsunuki distillery, the second facility established by the renowned Mars brand. Opened in 2016, the Tsunuki distillery is situated in Kagoshima, in the southern region of Japan, nestled between Mount Choya and Mount Kurata. The pristine water sourced from these mountains plays a crucial role in the whisky's production, contributing to its unique character. The climate in this region, characterized by hot, humid summers and cold winters, also impacts the aging process, speeding it up slightly compared to more temperate climates. The Tsunuki distillery's facilities are notably different from those of the Mars Shinshu distillery. One key difference is the design of the stills: the wash still at Tsunuki is U-shaped, and the spirit still is rectangular with a neck that's angled 10 degrees lower than those at Shinshu. This design choice results in a heavier style of single malt. The distillery operates under the expert guidance of Tatsuro Kusano, ensuring quality and consistency. On the nose, the whisky begins with a hint of smokiness, quickly followed by herbal notes and a touch of orange, reminiscent of a freshly baked cake. The aroma offers a crisp and fruity bouquet with hints of spice, caramel, and a touch of smoke. Upon tasting, exotic fruits intermingle with mineral and earthy flavors, accentuated by hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and dried fruits. The finish is marked by a lingering sweetness, with notes of passion fruit, dark chocolate, and a subtle earthiness. Overall, the Mars Tsunuki Single Malt Japanese Whisky boasts a complex and balanced taste profile, characterized by fruity, mineral, and earthy notes.

The interplay of fruity, mineral, and earthy notes makes for a whisky that is both complex and inviting.
