Mars Iwai Tradition Japanese Whisky

 Enticing aromas of sherry, fresh barley and spice. The palate opens with a bit of caramel then comes a waft of Lowland smoke, and spices. D&M Tasting Notes

This carmine dram has a soft, mellow nose of raisin, earthy red wine notes, wet slate, prune flesh, stewed rhubarb, caramelized brown sugar, and maple syrup. It’s fruity rather than sweet on the palate, but it seems held back at 40% ABV without a heavier mouthfeel, showing date, red plum, sultana, fudge, red velvet cake, brown sugar, and peppery spice, with a raspberry and spice finish. — Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate

This malt-driven spirit is truly a reflection of contemporary Japanese whisky. A blend of various ex-spirit barrels, combined with hints of peat, this spirit is wonderfully balanced and packed with ripe flavors of cherry, honey, toffee, and spice. Importer Notes
