Bottled at a powerful 58.9% ABV, it captures an important chapter in modern Japanese whisky history.

Produced during the early revival years of Shinshu, this whisky showcases the youthful vibrancy and elegant fruit character that have since made Mars Shinshu highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
