Shinshu Mars - Iwai Tradition Whisky 750ml

"Kiichiro Iwai, the creator of Mars Whiskey, was known as a leading expert on alcohol refining technology. He was also the person who sent Mr. Masataka Taketsuru, the first Japanese person to learn whisky-making, to Scotland. Iwai, who was appointed as an advisor to Honbo Sake Brewery, was entrusted with the planning of the whiskey division, and based on the 'Whiskey Practice Report'' submitted by Mr. Taketsuru, which is the origin of domestic whisky, and his own professional knowledge and experience, Iwai Involved in design and manufacturing guidance. In this way, "Mars Whiskey" was born, which has a historical lineage that traces back to the creation of Japanese whisky.

The pot still is a symbol of whiskey production. Today, the Mars Komagatake Distillery still operates a pot still designed by Mr. Iwai, and the first pot still is on display. The blended whiskey was named 'Iwai Tradition' with gratitude and respect for Mr. Iwai and the pot stills that are indispensable when talking about the history of Mars whisky." -Shinshu MArs
