Whisky Mars Maltage Cosmos

700ml BOTTLE

Mars Shinshu is a new/old distillery in Japan, a country with an important distillation tradition, especially in the second half of the 900s. The distillery is located near the city of Nagano, a well-known center for the 1998 Winter Olympics, therefore at an important altitude: we are 800 meters above sea level, an ideal condition for exploiting the crystal clear spring waters also to produce whisky. Founded in 1985, after a few years, due to the global crisis of whisky, the distillery had to close its doors and only reopened about ten years ago. 

Expecting the whisky which was recently produced finishes the correct refinement, the distillery has decided to put on the market some launch bottles, including this Cosmo: it is a blend of whisky Scots and whisky from the Mars distillery, a rather common practice in Japan especially due to the recent shortage of whisky Japanese.
