Description

This Mars Komagatake 2021 Edition is the latest release from premier whisky producer, Hombo Mars. It’s a single malt whisky that was distilled at the famous Shinshu distillery and it comes in an stunning white and pink bottle that would stand apart in any collection. The flavours inside are equally as impressive, with gentle fruitiness combining with soft floral notes and melted milk chocolate. Mars have become masters of creating well-balanced, elegant whiskies and this is another one to add to the list. 

The Producer

Mars Whisky

The Hombo family, owners of Mars Whisky, first took out a licence to distill whisky in 1949, although it was not until 1960 that they started making whisky - and not in Kagoshima, but at a purpose built plant in Yamanashi. This was run by Kiichiro Iwai, who had been Masataka Taketsuru's immediate superior at the turn of the century and who was responsible for sending Taketsuru to Scotland in 1919 to learn how whisky was produced. Both men had worked for a firm, Settsu Shozu, which had intended to build Japan's first whisky distillery.
