Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#3320) of Mars Komagatake distilled in 2016, aged in a first-fill bourbon barrel and bottled in 2019 for La Maison du Whisky. After being mothballed in 1992, Mars Shinshu resumed production during the winter months of 2011. Today, the distillery is only closed for two months in summer. It produces four types of distillates, one is non-peated and the other three are peated at 3.5 ppm, 20 ppm and 50 ppm respectively. With an ABV of 20 ppm, this version, which has a pale gold colour, highlights the minimal influence of the cask during ageing in Shinshu. It clearly emphasises a salty and medicinal peat, not hesitating to venture into distant lands in the finish, only to return with force at the end of the tasting. A limited edition of 207 bottles.

The distillery Mars - Shinshu

Japan, Nagano. Distillery operational. Owner: Hombo Shuzo Co. Ltd.

Founded in 1985, Mars-Shinshu had been a distillery in-the-making since 1918. Its history has something of the “back to the future” about it. In 1918, Kijiro Iwai, director of Settsu Shozu, sent Masataka Taketsuru to Scotland to learn the basics of distillation. On his return in 1920, he found his employer at the head of a company that had gone adrift. Settsu Shozu was unable to follow through on its plans for a new distillery and in the end it was Shinjiro Torii (Suntory) that benefited from Taketsuru's experience first, using it to found the Yamazaki distillery. In 1960, Kijiro Iwai's son-in-law, then director of the Hombo company, decided to take up the challenge. Drawing on the experience of his father-in-law and Taketsuru's notes, he began distilling a robust, smoky malt at one of his wine and brandy production units in Yamanashi. Quite unsuited to the tastes of Japanese consumers at the time who were accustomed to more subtle flavours, it was a commercial failure. In 1978, however, he made a second attempt at the Kagoshima site, before finally deciding to open Mars-Shinshu in 1985. Caught up in the upheaval of a crisis in whisky consumption in Japan, the distillery ceased production in 1992. In 2011, following major restoration work, Mars-Shinshu then opened once again, this time for the long run.
