A step up on the Iwai Whisky from the Mars Shinshu Distillery, in Japan, the Iwai Tradition is 75% malt and 25% grain, bottled at 40%. We are looking forward to trying this one too!
Producer Description: "This is malt driven spirit is truly a reflection of contemporary Japanese whisky. Incredibly balanced, soft and layered. A blending of sherry, bourbon and wine casks with hints delicate hints of peat make for a harmonious whisky that would make Iwai-san proud."
Producer Tasting Notes: "Ripe Cherry, honey toffee with a beautiful ginger spice."
About Mars Distillery: "Situated between the north and south Japanese alps, Mars Shinshu is Japan’s highest whisky distillery, at nearly 800 meters. The Hombo family have been distilling for more than a century and they added whisky to their repertoire in 1949 in Kagoshima. That was the southernmost whisky made in Japan until 1984, when all whisky production was moved to the current location in Nagano."

This new to Alberta Japanese whisky is allegedly a blend consisting of 75% grain and 25% malt whisky. Hoping to sample it soon.
From the Producer: "Kiichiro Iwai, the name sake for this Mars Whisky, was a silent pioneer of Japan whisky. This whisky is inspired by great whiskies of America. A majority of corn balanced with light malt aged in ex bourbon barrels. Ideal for daily sipping, in a mint julep or an old fashioned."
Producer Tasting Note: "Sweet with fruit flavors like pear, quince and hints of red fruits and vanilla."
