MARS Duo Tsunuki Akkeshi Whisky

MARS Duo Tsunuki Akkeshi is a highly anticipated and unique Japanese whisky that harmoniously blends spirits from the MARS distilleries in Tsunuki (Kagoshima Prefecture) and Akkeshi (Hokkaido). This collaboration showcases a fascinating contrast between two distinct terroirs. The Tsunuki component brings a rich, warm, and tropical character, influenced by its southern location and aging in various casks. Meanwhile, the Akkeshi contribution adds a northern, often peatier, and maritime influence, reflecting its cooler climate. The resulting whisky is complex and deeply layered, featuring notes of sweet citrus, honeyed malt, subtle smoke, and a lingering, elegant spice. This release is a testament to the versatility and innovative spirit of Japanese whisky.
