Mars Komagatake Limited Edition Japanese Single Malt (2019 Release)

If whisky were a warm hug this would be it. The sweet nose is rich with a lovely fruitiness of satsuma Seville orange marmalade yuzu and vanilla. This carries a velvety texture rippled with an orange-flavored effervescence; apricot jam sweet orange sherbet fine spices ground ginger and hot pepper. If this well-made example is an indication of the Mars Shinshu house style they are getting a lot of things right. (10000 bottles)
