Founded by the Hombo family, The Mars distillery began producing shucu in 1909. Over the years they shifted their focus to the production of whisky, acquiring their whisky license in 1949 with the help of their advisor, Mr. Kiichiro Iwai, an icon in the rise of Japanese whisky. Currently, Mars has two distilleries and an additional aging site. Mars Komagatake (formerly called Mars Shinshu), is tucked away at 2,625 ft in the Nagano Alps, making it Japan’s highest whisky distillery. Nagano’s heavy snowfall and temperate climate provide an abundance of soft and delicate glacier water for use in a dynamic range of both blended and single malt expressions. Their “Iwai” is an American-style blended whisky aged in ex-bourbon bottles, light, fruity, and highly approachable.
