MARS Cosmo Manzanilla Cask Finish Whisky

MARS Cosmo Manzanilla Cask Finish is a world blended malt whisky from Hombo Shuzo, the company behind Mars Whisky. It combines malt whisky distilled at the Mars Shinshu Distillery, high in the Japanese Alps of Nagano, with single malt whiskies from undisclosed Scottish distilleries, and the blend is then finished in Manzanilla sherry casks from Andalusia in southern Spain.

Manzanilla is a dry, delicate style of sherry, and its casks add a vinous edge to the familiar Cosmo character. The result is a textured, rich and aromatic dram, with lingering notes of dried fruit, cocoa, brown sugar and maple syrup on the palate, leading to a long, vinous finish. Bottled at 42% ABV, it is a distinctive variation on the classic Cosmo and rewards sipping neat or with a drop of water.
