This is a single malt whisky distilled at Mars Komagatake Distillery (formerly Mars Shinshu Distillery) and aged on the World Natural Heritage island of Yakushima, located approximately 60 km south-southwest of mainland Kagoshima.
From our Mars Yakushima Aging Cellar, we have vatted a selection of genshu, primarily from those matured in ex-bourbon barrels. The nose opens with juicy and refreshing citrus fruit and a subtle hint of peat, before gradually revealing sweet aromas of vanilla and custard cream.
The palate delivers a robust fruitiness, a character that reflects its maturation in a southern climate. We invite you to enjoy this rare malt, which has slumbered in the embrace of Yakushima's magnificent nature.
