Iwai Tradition Wine Cask Finish
The Mars Shinshu brewery may be found in the Japanese Alps - in the same general region as the Hakushu distillery (even though the Mars brands have always boasted that they have the maximum elevation compared to any factory in the nation, for what it is worth). And this brand is the father of Iwai Tradition Wine-Cask Finish, a whiskey that will leave an unforgettable taste in your mouth!
Casks composed of sakura, wine, and sherry (Japanese plum wood), amongst other kinds, are used in the production of special release blends of the Iwai Tradition Wine-Cask Finish from Mars, accompanied by reasonably priced blends of grain and malt whiskey that has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels.
The 2021 limited-edition Bordeaux Cask Finish was the most recent version of them to be released. To give this whiskey the best production, Mars has transferred Iwai Tradition Wine-Cask Finish into an additional maturation period of around one year, flavoring it with red wine barrels sourced from the distillery's second winery - Chateau Mars (located in the Yamanashi prefecture).
The flavors of sweet vanilla, apricot, honey, pear, and raisin come through in the tasting. If you are a whiskey lover in general and a particular fan of Japanese beverages, such flavors are a must to try!
