Nose
Pear nectar and white peach, then a deeper rumble of honeyed barley, vanilla pod and beeswax. A faint herbal twist — pine needle and crushed shiso — speaks of the mountain forest outside the warehouse doors.
Palate
Lush and oily. Apricot jam, malt loaf, manuka honey and orange oil. Mid-palate brings cocoa nib, toasted almond and a sherry-cask raisin note that thickens the texture.
Finish
Long and spiced — clove, ginger, dark chocolate and a final flourish of dried mango sweetness.
Expert Review
8.5/10Named for the 2,956-metre peak that towers above the distillery, Mars Komagatake is a single malt shaped by the cold, clean alpine air of Japan's Central Highlands and matured in a patchwork of bourbon, sherry and wine casks.
