Single malt Japanese whisky from the Mars Tsunuki Distillery in Kagoshima • Aged 3–4 years in 1^st and 2^nd-fill bourbon barrels • Peat level of 3.5 parts per million • A nose of lemon cake and black tea is accompanied by light smoke.

 Located in the southern prefecture of Kagoshima from which the Hombo family originally helms, Mars Tsunuki Distillery, reopened in 2016, experiences notably more humidity and greater fluctuation in temperature than Mars Shinshu to the north. This bottling, the third release since the distillery’s reopening, confidently catches the stride of Mars Tsunuki and underscores the versatility of the Mars production range.
