Mars Komagatake 8 y.o. - 03 Tsuki-Otosh - Sumo Series - Sherry Cask #2067
Special features: This limited release from the renowned Mars Shinshu Distillery has matured in an Oloroso sherry hogshead cask numbered 2067 and is characterized by a phenol content of 20 ppm. The name "Tsuki-Otoshi" refers to a special throwing technique in Sumo, where the opponent is thrown off balance by a lateral push. With only 204 bottles worldwide, this whisky is a coveted collector's item.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Full and airy, with aromas of apricot and dried figs, accompanied by an incredibly delicate note of peat. The scent palette is reminiscent of a caramelized apricot cake. Over time, notes of orange, plum, roasted mango, and dark chocolate develop.
- Palate: Complex and velvety, with flavors of cocoa powder, fine tea, and a hint of smoke reminiscent of a Havana cigar. Over time, malty, sweet notes of crème brûlée and vanilla unfold, adding depth to the taste.
- Finish: Firm yet smooth, with a dry, earthy peat flavor reminiscent of seaweed. The aftertaste is characterized by salty and iodine notes, with hints of smoked fish, stuffed shells, and dry straw.
Distillery/Bottler: The Mars Shinshu Distillery, located in the Japanese Alps at an altitude of 798 meters, was founded in 1985 and reopened in 2011. It is known for producing whiskies with diverse and balanced flavor profiles. The "Tsuki-Otoshi" series reflects the connection between traditional Sumo and the craftsmanship of whisky production.
