Mars Whisky “Komagatake” Single Malt – Sherry & American White Oak 2011 (Wine Cask Finish)

This is a limited edition of only 1,000 bottles of the now famous Shinshu distillery single malt.This 5 year old single malt whiskey was produced in 2011 and stored for 4.5 years in barrels of American white oak and sherry casks and half a year in old red wine barrels before being bottled in 2016 at 52%. The result is a marked influence of ripening barrels of red wine delivering aromas of sherry, tannins and oak wood. This complex whisky express a multitude of fruity flavors including grape, strawberry and cherry, but also more greedy tones of cookies, cocoa and vanilla. Very slight smoky notes will appear at the end of tasting.
