Mars Whisky is a brand created by Hombo Suzo, producer of traditional Japanese spirits, gathering the bottlings of the Shinshu and Tsunuki distilleries.
Today it is a leading brand in Japanese whisky, whose creativity impresses its rivals with many whiskies created since the reopening in 2011 of the Shinshu distillery and the opening in 2016 of a brand new malt distillery called Tsunuki whose first single malt was released in 2020.
In addition to producing Shinshu's signature Komagatake single malt and the Tsunuki single malt, which is still in its infancy, Mars Whisky offers a range of blends such as Cosmo and Kasei, as well as Mars Maltings pure malts, and an impressive number of limited editions and other single casks that are sure to please collectors.
The Hombo Shuzo group, owner of the Mars Whisky brand and of the Shinshu and Tsunuki distilleries, has many production sites with cellars to which the whiskies produced will be transferred for aging. These different maturation sites will allow the brand to blend whiskies with very different characters and to highlight the influence of local climatic conditions on the evolution of whisky.
