Iwai Tradition Sherry Cask Finish Japanese Whisky
Mars Whisky Iwai Tradition Sherry Cask Finish Japanese Whisky is bottled at 40% Alc/Vol.
Sandwiched between Japan’s soaring Southern Alps and the towering Central Alps, at just over 2,600 feet, Mars Shinshu is Japan’s highest whisky distillery. The Hombo family have been distilling for more than a century and they added whisky to their repertoire in 1949. Back then the distillery was located in Kagoshima Prefecture on the southern most island of Kyushu. Until 1984, it was the southernmost whisky made in Japan, which ended with the Hombo clan moving the distillery to the idyllic alpine setting of Miyada village in southern Nagano Prefecture. They chose this site for its cool temps, which slowed maturation, and the plentiful, soft, granite filtered snowmelt fed aquifers. Smart choice. The whiskies are elegant, smooth and very complex.

Mars Whisky is a Japanese whisky brand that is produced by the Hombo Shuzo company, which is based in Kagoshima, Japan. The brand is named after the Mars Shinshu distillery, which is located in the Nagano prefecture of Japan.
The Mars Shinshu distillery was established in 1949, but production was suspended in 1992 due to a decline in the demand for whisky in Japan. However, in 2011, the distillery was revived and production of Mars Whisky resumed.
