Mars Shinshu Maltage Cosmo Japanese Whisky (700ml - 43%)

From the Mars Shinshu Distillery in the Japanese Alps, Maltage Cosmo is a Japanese whisky bottled at 43% ABV. It brings together single malts distilled and matured at Shinshu, with additional malt whiskies including those produced in Japan, creating a layered style with a rounded, gently sweet character.

Established in 1985 at 798 metres above sea level, the distillery draws on pure water filtered naturally through granite rock over many years. Sweet notes of honey, caramel and ripe fruit are balanced by subtle wood and smoke, while the palate moves through vanilla, red fruit, citrus oil, fleshy orange, chocolate and oaky spice before a lingering finish of fresh plums, red grapes and cocoa.
