Mars "The Lucky Cat" "Ash 99"

Reference: MARLC700

Shinshu distillery is located in Miyata village in Nagano prefecture at 798 meters above sea level where the distillery’s cool climate and pure water sources contributes to the high standards of Komagatake's single malt. Distilled in winter, Shinshu whiskies are then aged in sherry, brandy and bourbon casks. The distillery was built in 1985 by its parent, Hombo Shuzo (“Hombo Brewing”) that is well-known for their shochu and plum wines. Prior to 1985, Hombo's whisky operations had been at Kagoshima on the Southern Island of Kyushu and in Yamanashi where it first started its whisky line in 1960. The distillery stopped whisky production in 1992 due to a decrease in demand; however production resumed in 2011 following a recovery of the Japanese whisky market.

The 2nd release from Mars distillery of the Lucky Cat series, the Lucky Cat "Ash 99" is a blend of whisky finished in ex-bourbon and sherry casks.
Only 4,300 bottles were released in 2016 and it was a sellout after its launch.

Nose: Minty, crisp, fruity aromas.

Palate: Candied orange, zesty, sweet, vanilla pods and baked dough.

Finish: Very well-balanced softness.
