Mars Shinshu Maltage Cosmo
This is a blended Malt whisky from Japanese disillery Shinshu which was founded in 1985 in the Japanese Alps, laying dormant until production started again in 2011. It is a blend of Shinshu malt and Scottish malt which is aged in Scotland
Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky
Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky is one of the more distinctive expressions in the Nikka lineup, made entirely from malted barley but distilled in the brand’s signature Coffey stills — equipment normally used for grain whisky. This unusual approach gives it a character that sits somewhere between classic malt richness and the smooth, rounded profile of Coffey‑distilled spirits. It reflects Nikka’s long history of experimentation, rooted in Masataka Taketsuru’s mission to blend Scottish technique with Japanese precision. Its aroma shows soft vanilla, gentle oak, ripe stone fruit and a touch of caramel. On the palate, it offers a smooth, creamy texture with notes of toffee, peach, light spice and a subtle biscuit‑like maltiness that sets it apart from traditional single malts. The finish is warm, mellow and lightly sweet, making it an approachable yet distinctive whisky that showcases the innovative side of Japanese distillation.
