Description

Mars Komagatake IPA Cask Finish 2023 is a Japanese single malt whisky from the Shinshu Mars distillery, nestled in the Central Alps of Nagano Prefecture. This limited edition release is initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished for approximately 6 months in IPA beer casks from the neighboring Minami Shinshu Brewery. It offers vibrant citrus, tropical sweetness, and distinctive hop-bitterness tones, providing a modern craft-whisky experience.
