Mars 5 y 2018 TSUNUKI 70cl 58.5°
A cask strength single malt capturing the essence of Tsunuki’s unique climate.
Distilled in 2018 at Mars Tsunuki Distillery, this single malt embodies the excellence of Japanese whisky. Aged for 5 years in a bourbon hogshead made of American white oak, it develops a moderately peated profile (20 ppm), balancing intensity and refinement.
On the nose, ripe fruits and vanilla blend with a delicate smoky touch. The palate is rich and complex, revealing flavors of mirabelle plum, dark chocolate, candied citrus, and a subtle saline note. The finish is long and well-balanced, oscillating between malty sweetness and an elegant smoky hint.
Bottled at 58.5%, non-chill filtered and naturally colored, this whisky showcases the full impact of aging under Kagoshima’s warm and humid climate.

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.
The latest 2020 edition of Komagatake Yakushima was distilled at the Mars Shinshu Distillery but aged on Yakushima Island in the south of the country.
