Mars Tsunuki Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Mars Tsunuki Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled for an event release, is a no age statement single malt from Tsunuki, Hombo Shuzo's Kagoshima distillery on the southern tip of Kyushu, combining Ex-Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 49% cask strength. This multi-cask vatting distinguishes it from the distillery's single-wood core releases, allowing the darker and richer sherry character to interact with the lighter vanilla and tropical notes of the Ex-Bourbon aged stocks.

At 49% cask strength, the whisky sits at the lower end of the cask strength range, offering intensity without the full heat of higher proof releases. Where specific tasting notes are not available for this bottling, the combination of Ex-Bourbon and Oloroso in Tsunuki's warm Kagoshima climate typically produces a whisky that balances fresh citrus and vanilla with dried fruit, chocolate and gentle nuttiness from the sherry wood. The event release format means limited availability, produced outside the regular release schedule.
