Produced at the southernmost tip of whisky production in Japan, this is the final vintage single malt distilled in Kagoshima.
Mars Whisky began in 1949, upon obtaining a whisky manufacturing license in Kagoshima.
In 1960, a facility for wine and whisky production (now Mars Yamanashi Winery) was established in Yamanashi Prefecture.
Subsequently, in 1985, Mars Komagatake Distillery (formerly Mars Shinshu Distillery) was established in Miyada Village, Nagano Prefecture, as the new hub for whisky and brandy production.
In 1984, the year before the production base moved to Mars Komagatake Distillery, this malt whisky was distilled in Kagoshima and laid down in Sherry casks. For 25 years, the final five casks slumbered quietly.
"The Malt of Kagoshima 1984 25 Years" is a single malt whisky created by vatting these last five casks of malt whisky.
It has been crafted into a masterpiece that harmonizes a profound flavor reminiscent of the majestic Mt. Sakurajima with a peaty aroma evoking the rocky shores of Kinko Bay.
