Mars Iwai Tradition Japanese Whisky (750ml)

Next to standard Iwai, Iwai Tradition is the sibling that leans Scottish. The blend carries more malt and is matured in a mix of ex-bourbon, sherry, and wine casks. It is richer and more fruit-driven, and it has a soft alpine character.

Mood: Rich, fruit-driven, alpine

Tasting notes

Honey, dried fruit, light wood smoke, soft sherry. A malty core with raisin, dried apricot, and gentle spice. Warming and medium-long, with the sweetness of sherry.

Food pairing

Pour it neat after dinner, with dark chocolate.
