MARS MALT Le Papillon Single Cask Gifu-cho
Single Cask Release (576 Bottles)
"MARS MALT Le Papillon" is a series that expresses the wonderful natural environment of Japan, which forms the maturation environment of whisky, through the seasonal climate and terrain of Japan, with butterflies living in Japan as motifs.
The seventh release is themed after the Japanese endemic species "Gifucho," which has black and yellow-white vertical stripes on its wings, with red, blue, and orange spots lining the outer wings. Inspired by the "Gifucho," also known as the "Goddess of Spring," this product is a light peated genshu matured in American white oak casks that were carefully selected from Mars Komagatake Distillery (formerly known as Mars Shinshu Distillery) in 2013.
This single cask whisky, distilled as a malt spirit, was aged with a focus on barrel flavors, bottled at natural cask strength, and non-chill filtered.
"In May 2015, on a still chilly morning, as I walked along a mountain path in Shirakawa Village, Ono District, Gifu Prefecture, where snow still lingered, a vivid blue carpet of dogtooth violets appeared in an open space. I looked up at the sky repeatedly, praying for the weather to clear. Just as I was getting tired of waiting, the sun finally broke through the clouds, and I suddenly noticed a Gifucho butterfly feeding on nectar. Its red hindwings stood out prominently. Despite its flashy
