Mars Shinshu Sherry Cask Finish
Mars Iwai Sherry Cask Finish is a blended Japanese whisky known for its rich, sweet, and complex character, resulting from a finishing period in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. It presents a delightful interplay of dried fruits, honey, and subtle peat notes, balanced by a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. The sherry influence adds depth with notes of dark fruits, while subtle oak and spice notes contribute to a lingering, harmonious finish.

Kaiyo Whisky Mizunara Oak Cask Strength
Kaiyo Whisky Mizunara Oak Cask Strength is a Japanese whisky known for its unique aging process in handmade Mizunara oak casks and a subsequent 3-month maturation at sea. This results in a complex flavor profile with notes of sandalwood, coconut, and vanilla, alongside hints of citrus and subtle spices. The cask strength version offers a bolder experience with a higher alcohol content.

Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.
