Mars Tsunuki 2022 Edition 70cl 50°
This Tsunuki Edition 2022 is a 100% Japanese Single Malt, produced at the Tsunuki distillery, one of the two belonging to Mars Whisky. Inaugurated in 2016, it is located in Kagoshima, on the island of Kyushu, in the heart of the Kuraokuyama mountains, where it draws the spring water used to make its whiskies.
It is therefore at the heart of this Japanese distillery that this Single Malt was distilled, aged in first and second fill Bourbon barrels, then blended and bottled without chill filtration. This very special ageing gives it a lot of complexity, as well as surprising fruity and gourmet notes.

The Shinshu Mars distillery originates from Japan where it enjoys an exceptional geographical location. It is located at an altitude of 800m in the small village of Miyata, an area with a harsh climate, in the heart of the Japanese Alps. There, it enjoys the sources of pure water filtered by the mountain for centuries to give Mars whisky its unique character.
Shinshu was founded by Maison Hombo Shuzu, a producer of wines and shoshu. In the 1980s, the drop in demand for spirits forced Kiichiro Iwai, its founder, to close the distillery in 1992. It reopened in 2011 with a new bottling which naturally took the name "The Revival 2011".
The production of Shinshu varies throughout the year, the winter months are devoted to whisky while the summer months are devoted to Brandies and other spirits. The whiskies produced at the Shinshu Distillery are aged in barrels of Brandy, Bourbon and Japanese red wines.
In 2015, Mars decided to create a second distillery, Tsunuki.
