Mars Shinshu The Lucky Cat "Hana" Oloroso Finish 70cl

Mars Shinshu The Lucky Cat Hana Oloroso Finish 70cl

Do you like Whisky? And also cats? Do you ever sit there wishing that both were together? Well.... NOW THEY ARE!

This Mars The Lucky Cat Hana is a brand new release from Hombo Mars that is the 5th edition in their popular Lucky Cat series. This one is a delicious blend of malt and grain whisky that has been finished in the finest Oloroso sherry wood available, resulting in a richly fruity, spicy and smooth expression. The label is based on a quiet and gentle female cat named “Hana” and it shows her sitting patiently in a distillery maturation warehouse surrounded by barrels.

Mars The Lucky Cat Hana Blended Japanese Whisky is a premium Japanese whisky that has been blended from various malt and grain whiskies produced by the Mars Shinshu distillery. This distillery is located in the Nagano prefecture of Japan and is known for its use of local ingredients and traditional Japanese techniques. The whisky has been aged in American white oak casks and finished in Japanese oak casks, which adds a unique flavor profile to the whisky. The name "Hana" means "flower" in Japanese, and the whisky is said to have a delicate and floral flavor profile with notes of honey, vanilla, and a hint of spice.

As with the previous releases in the series, this is one that is well worth trying, even for those new to whisky.
