Mars Shinshu - Komagatake 2019 Edition Single Malt Japanese Whisky
Out of stock
The annual limited release Mars. Komagatake 2019 is an excellent single malt produced at the Mars Shinshu distillery and like its 2018 predecessor, it is a combination of peated and unpeated malts and is matured in a combination of bourbon barrels and other types of casks.
Clean and refreshing, this has an array of flavours, including sweet orange marmalade, apricot, gentle vanilla, melon and soft oak. It’s a gentle and smooth and not overly complex drinking whisky that keeps you coming back for more. As a limited edition release of around 10,000 bottles.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with a delicate sunlit amber glow.
Nose
Clean and refreshing on the nose, with bright citrus marmalade and apricot, intertwined with melon sweetness, subtle vanilla and soft oak. A gentle, approachable aroma that speaks of fruit and warm wood, inviting the first sip.
Palate
Bright orange marmalade and apricot open the palate, with crisp melon and a veil of gentle vanilla. A soft oak backbone lends subtle structure, while the mingling of peated and unpeated malts keeps it refreshingly balanced. Silky and smooth, it coats the mouth with delicate fruit and a clean, approachable sweetness.
Finish
Bright and clean, the finish lingers with orange marmalade and apricot, a whisper of vanilla and melon, and a gentle kiss of soft oak.
