Sensory Description:
The nose opens with bright aromas of lemongrass, dried apricot, and a hint of ginger, followed by soft vanilla oak and floral undertones. On the palate, layers of barley sugar and raisin-laced malt loaf emerge, complemented by creamy vanilla and subtle citrus zest. As it fades, warming spice and lingering sweetness round out a balanced and inviting finish.

Distiller's Background:
Hombo Shuzo Co., established in 1872, originally focused on shochu production before expanding into whisky in 1949. In 1984, the company relocated its whisky-making to Shinshu Distillery in the mountainous town of Miyada, Nagano. Surrounded by Japan’s Southern and Central Alps and situated over 2,600 feet above sea level, the distillery leverages cooler temperatures and mineral-rich water to achieve slow, nuanced maturation. After a brief pause in production during the 1990s, the distillery resumed in 2012 and has since become a respected name in Japanese whisky, with the Komagatake line serving as its flagship single malt.
Serving Suggestions:
This whisky shines when sipped neat or with a few drops of water to enhance its delicate fruit and spice tones. It also pairs beautifully with semi-hard cheeses, grilled white fish, or almond pastries, making it ideal for thoughtful sipping alongside refined cuisine.
The 2021 Mars Komagatake Limited Edition captures the intersection of tradition, innovation, and terroir-driven nuance, offering a refined drinking experience that continues to elevate the reputation of Japanese single malts worldwide.
