Mars IWAI Traditional Wine Cask Finish Japanese Whisky (750ml)
Volume: 750ml ABV: 40% Age: No Age Statement Country: Japan
Mars Iwai traditional is quite a meaty whisky and as such reminds us of Ben Nevis whisky but on a Japanese scale. This thick and heavy whisky has now been finished in ex-red wine casks for about 12 months. The casks are from the Chateaus Mars winery.
The Iwai blend is a mix of 75% malt and 25% corn/grain spirit.
