Mars 'Komagatake' Limited Edition Japanese Whisky 2022

The 2022 Edition of Komagatake Single Malt Whisky is produced by Mars Shinshu in Nagano, Japan. It is distilled in copper pot stills from 100% malted barley, which is a blend of unpeated and peated barley at a peat level of 3.5 parts per million. This whisky is non-age statement and is aged for 3-5 years in ex-bourbon, sherry, and port casks. It has delicate aromas of coconut husk, warm cereal, cedar plank, and milk chocolate, and a palate of gunpowder green tea, peach candies, and manuka honey. The Komagatake 2022 release is a limited edition in the US, with 9516 bottles available. It marks the transition from the limited releases under the Komagatake label to an annual edition that reflects the core single malt house style for Mars Shinshu. This is an exciting benchmark for future releases of Komagatake Single Malt Whisky.
