Mars
Mars Kasei Blended Japanese Whisky 40% 70cl
- Details
Dating back to 1872 - although whisky production didn't commence until 1960 - the Shinshu Distillery in situated at the base of the Japanese Alps in the Nagano prefecture.
Owned by the Hombo Shuzo group - who also own the Tsunuki Distillery - 'Mars' is their branding of whiskies in both blended and single forms.
'Kasei' is Japanese for 'Mars' - so weirdly this named Mars Mars - and is an introductory blend of malt and grain whiskies that are approachable and suited to mixing in highballs, as the majority of Japanese drinkers enjoy it. There is light, fresh notes of apple and pear with a hint of soft toffee, with a delicate wave of almost imperceptible smoke in the finish.
It's an excellent example of what Japanese whisky can offer - an elegant flavour profile, gentle texture and the ability to work with a mixer.
