Mars Komagatake Kohiganzakura - Nature of Shinshu
The second bottling from the Nature of Shinshu series produced by the eponymous Japanese distillery. The Kohiganzakura honours the cherry blossom prevalent in Japan (and around the distillery itself, in particular!). It's a lightly peated expression, with parts of it matured in casks that previously matured Japanese wine.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Marzipan, apricot and nectarine, a hint of oat cake salinity.
Palate
Subtle wafts of tobacco drift between notes of strawberry, mint and yet more nectarine.
Finish
Quite short and smoke-driven.
