Mars Distillery The Y.A. #4 Japanese Single Malt Whisky 700ml - Premium Shinshu Distillery Limited Edition 700mL
Mars Distillery The Y.A. #4 is a limited-edition Japanese blended malt whisky, aged in the Yokushima (āY.A.ā = Yakushima Aging) cellar located on Yakushima Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It combines malt from Mars Shinshu (Nagano) and Mars Tsunuki (Kagoshima) distilleries, matured primarily in ex-bourbon barrels in the humid, salty, and tropical climate of Yakushima. This expression showcases Marsās commitment to experimental maturation, delivering a deeply flavored, richly textured whisky that bridges sweet tropical fruit tones with a delicate peat smoke. With an ABV of 50% and only 9,000 bottles released, it is a collector-worthy and highly characterful dram.
