- Description
- Mars's Komagatake distillery in Nagano matured this seven-year-old exclusively on Yakushima island, where the coastal climate imparts a distinctive character absent from mainland ageing. Tropical fruit and soft spice emerge from the ex-bourbon cask alongside a vanilla backbone, creating a bright and approachable Japanese single malt. Well-suited to those discovering Japanese whisky's regional variations and the influence of island maturation.
