They really started producing whisky in 1949 with the help of Mr. Kiichiro Iwai, an icon in the Japanese Whisky world. Shinshu is the main distillery which is in the Nagano Alps and Japan’s highest whisky distillery. The second is the Tsunuki distillery in Kagoshima, an island in the south of Japan.
Taste
Limited edition blended Japanese whisky produced by Mars Komagatake Distillery (formerly known as Mars Shinshu) in Nagano, Japan.
9th edition of the Mars “Lucky Cat” series dedicated to the distillery cats of Mars Komagatake
Blend of malt and grain whiskies. Aged in a variety of casks including ex–wine, ex–Oloroso sherry, and Spanish oak; non-age statement.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of pear skin, cinnamon stick, damp wood, and baking chocolate precede a palate of cacao, orange zest, and shortbread cookies with delicate smoke and a long, dry finish of lapsang souchong tea and spicy Red Hot candies
The ninth edition of the Lucky Cat series and the second Double Individuals release features two of the distillery’s beloved cats, Hana and Choco—a pair of sisters with their own unique appearances and personalities that serve as the inspiration for this blend of malt and grain whiskies. Hana, a “big, gentle baby,” is represented by the warm approachability of wine and Oloroso sherry casks, while Choco’s rambunctious, energetic disposition is represented by bold Spanish oak, resulting in a harmonious blend that reflects these two individuals mellowing out together.
