Mars Maltage Cosmo Blended Whisky Vol.43% Cl.70

Hombo Shuzo Ltd is an old Japanese liquor company, founded in 1872.

Traditionally they were producers of "shochu", but in 1985 they built the Shinshu Mars Distillery in the village of Miyata, to start producing whiskey and brandy.

The whiskey was sold under the Mars Whiskey brand and quickly became famous.

Unfortunately the demand was not great enough and they stopped whiskey production in 1992.

Then, in February 2011, whiskey production was restarted at the Shinshu Mars distillery.

On August 6, 2014, Hombo Shuzo finally launched the first whiskey produced by the reboot, the Mars Whiskey The Revival 2011 Komagatake.

Subsequently, given the success of its Mars whiskeys, Shinshu Mars Distillery decided to create a lightly peaty Mars Maltage Cosmo blended whiskey.

Mars Maltage Cosmo is a blended whiskey that comes from the blending of different Scottish and Japanese Single Malt Whiskeys, aged in different types of barrels for different aging periods.

The distillery is very careful in selecting the different original batches, so as to obtain a balanced final product, which can have a soul that, albeit the result of a cut, is consistent.

The Mars Maltage cosmo, after assembly, is left to rest in wood, maturing slowly due to the harsh climate that characterizes the area of ​​the Japanese Alps.
