Final Thoughts
The Komagatake Single Malt is the flagship of Mars Shinshu, crafted from carefully selected casks matured at high altitude. The nose greets with fresh orchard fruits, honey, pear drops, and a touch of malt sweetness. On the palate, it unfolds into flavors of vanilla custard, apple, lemon zest, and gentle oak spice, supported by a silky mouthfeel. The finish is medium to long, with lingering notes of honeycomb, citrus, and light pepper. Best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water, it pairs beautifully with sushi, roasted chicken, or fruit tarts. This expression perfectly captures Mars’ refined style of highland Japanese whisky.
