This 7-year-old Whisky Exchange exclusive bottling was distilled at the Mars Komagatake distillery near Nagano, Japan, and matured in a warehouse on Yakushima Island off the south coast of Japan. The nose has touches of dried fruits, kiwi fruit, hints of citrus, ginger root and vanilla. The taste is fruity with citrus, kiwi, apricots, sandalwood, white pepper, honey, and dried flowers. The finish is long and citrusy with a lingering touch of spice. (May, 2026)
