Shinshu Mars Distillery Iwai 45 Whisky (45%) 750 ML

Situated between the north and south Japanese alps, Mars Shinshu is Japan’s highest whisky distillery, at nearly 800 meters. The Hombo family have been distilling for more than a century and they added whisky to their repertoire in 1949 in Kagoshima. That was the southernmost whisky made in Japan until 1984, when all whisky production was moved to the current location in Nagano. This Mars Iwai 45 is a higher proof version of the original signature spirit, with a distinctive fruit-forward, bourbon flavor profile.
