Mars Kasei

Alas, this whisky isn’t really from the planet Mars, but from the Mars Shinshu distillery, which is just as exciting! It is Japan’s highest whisky distillery at just under 800 metres, so it’s nearly made it to space. ‘Kasei’ is the Japanese word for Mars, and the whisky is made from a blend of both malt and grain whiskies, married from a variety of barrels.
