Bottled in 2018, this is a 5 year old Komagatake from Mars. This edition came about from maturing the whisky in 2 different distilleries: Shinshu Aging Distillery and Tsunuki Aging Distillery.
Palate: Some nice spiciness mostly nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cocoa, vanilla, almond flakes, butter, lemon meringue, earthy peat, coconut water. Adding a little water brings out tangy orange and peanut butter.
Finish: Nutmeg, almond flakes, lingering cashew nuts and with water the peanut butter.
