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.
This 30-year-old single malt is one of a series of 3 releases with the artwork done by Japanese painter, Kozo Ikenaga. It is currently one of the oldest whiskies ever produced by the distillery and is limited to only 1137 bottles.
Distilled: April 1986
