Product details
Mars Komagatake Single Malt Japanese Whisky NAS is a refined expression from the renowned Mars Komagatake distillery in Nagano, Japan, known for its alpine climate and dedication to craft. Produced from 100% unpeated malted barley and twice distilled in traditional copper pot stills, this single malt is aged in a unique combination of ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, ex-port, and ex-wine casks sourced from Mars wineries. Though non-age-statement, the whisky reflects the distillery’s meticulous selection of barrels, resulting in a consistent “clean and rich” character. This flagship expression captures the essence of the Komagatake style, offering a harmonious balance of depth, complexity, and elegance for both new enthusiasts and seasoned collectors.
On the palate, Mars Komagatake NAS opens with notes of stewed raspberries, strawberry & cream, and subtle white chocolate, layered with sultanas and cedar. A floral mid-palate reveals hints of violets, leading to a finish of gentle white pepper and mace. The texture is smooth yet vibrant, making it versatile for sipping neat, over ice, or with a splash of club soda for a refreshing twist. This single malt embodies the careful blending and alpine maturation that define Mars Komagatake, delivering a memorable tasting experience that showcases the artistry and heritage of Japanese whisky.
