Mars began releasing vintage-dated expressions of Komagatake single malt in 2018, each bottling meant to express a distinct profile and the best blend of the years selected barrels. The Nagano distillery has always had an overarching vision, however, to codify its house style for a consistently available, non-age-statement single malt. Now, with a clear sense of the clean and rich character that Komagatake wishes to relay, and a store of enough alpine-aged whisky to make their vision possible, Mars has released their flagship Komagatake NAS single malt at an ABV of 45% for sessionable drinking. Enjoy on the rocks, or over ice with a splash of club soda as preferred by Mars President Kazuto Hombo.
