Mars Whisky Komagatake Single Malt Japanese Whisky Non-Chill Filtered

2019 Release Nose: Sherry, grapefruit, wood stain, an earthy note, dried mixed citrus peel, dried pears, tobacco. Palate: Well the tobacco is still present but you wouldn’t think you were tasting the same whisky you have been nosing. Candy coated nuts, earthy peat, marzipan, white peaches, cashews, a mix of sweet and savory spices, tinned plums, menthol. Really quite moreish, I kept pouring more drams while writing up these notes. Finish: Tobacco, earthy peat, cashews and menthol. Last Word: A well sorted blend of old and new stock and different cask types.
