In 1985, Hombo Breweries opened the Mars Shinshu distillery in Miyata village at the foot of the Komagatake Alps in Japan's Nagano prefecture. Whisky production there takes place only during winter, with the rest of the year spent brewing beer and distilling other spirits. However, with the popularity of whisky enjoying a resurgence in Japan, "winter" now lasts for about six months at the distillery.
The name "Twin Alps" isn't a reference to the European mountain range - the geographically astute among you might know that Japan also has a range of Alps, in which the Shinshu Mars distillery nestles.
40% ABV / 75cl
