Mars Tsunuki The First Cask Strength Distilled in 2016/2017 (2020) 70cl


Like the name suggests, Mars Tsunuki The First is the first single malt whisky from the Mars' Tsunuki Distillery! Previously, Mars has been ageing some single malt from its Shinshu Distillery at Tsunuki, but this expression is the very first time we get to taste whisky that was completely distilled at Tsunuki. Until now, the distillery has been mainly used for ageing whiskies distilled at Mars Shinshu, however now their first whisky is ready for release, and it’s just as good as we’d hoped! It was bottled up in 2020 at 59% ABV, with 9,984 bottles produced. An exciting Japanese single malt, this!

It’s a brilliant creation that makes us very excited for the next Tsunuki release.

Tasting Notes

Nose : Sultana, almond, dry oak, ripe cherry and some spicy ginger.

Palate : Still quite nutty, with more almonds and not chocolate peanuts. White grape, crisp apple and toffee.

Finish : It remains fruity on the finish, though subtly drying with cinnamon and peppercorn.

About Mars 

Mars Whisky is a Japanese brand by Hombo Shuzo, known for its distinct distilleries and diverse whisky profiles. The brand operates the Komagatake Distillery in the high-altitude Japanese Alps, producing delicate whiskies, and the Tsunuki Distillery in the subtropical south of Kyushu, which crafts more robust, smoky spirits. Their whisky is often characterized by pure water sources, unique climates, and innovative techniques, resulting in smooth, balanced whiskies with notes of fruit, spice, and oak.
