Cask #3 in the Bakemono Zukushi Monster Scroll-inspired series depicts Dmo-Kmo, a two-headed creature that pairs perfectly with this double-cask vatting of new-make spirits from Mars Komagatake and Tsunuki distilleries that have been aged and blended in Yakushima. This compelling limited release builds further context for the aging influence of Marss Yakushima cellar, especially when set alongside the annual Y.A. releases (which vary in cask-finish and ABV).
