Citrus fruit on nose, developing into vanilla. Sweet and malty on the citrusy palate. Sweet to bitter ending with beer edge. Minami Shinshu Brewery crafts beer right next to our distillery, actively using locally sourced ingredients to make delicious brews. This time our experiment is introducing their used beer casks (India Pale Ale) to our whisky’s finish. Malt whisky distilled & matured at Mars Shinshu Distillery then finished for 1 year in Minami Shinshu Ex-IPA casks.
