Mars 8 Years Old Asagi Madraga 70cl 48°
35 years after its creation, the Mars Shinsu distillery has been renovated and enlarged. The Asagi Madara whisky, created to celebrate this event, remains faithful to the fruity and floral style of the house, but nevertheless delivers refreshing notes that plunge us into the heart of Shinsu forest and its wild flowers.
The Asagimadara butterfly (on the label) which is known to migrate long distances, can be seen in the village of Miyada, where the distillery is located, during the month of September.
This whisky is the first blended whisky created by the distillery which has been blended only with whiskies from Japan and aged 8 years.

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.
