Full product description

Mars The Y.A. #2 is a Japanese blended malt whisky from Hombo Shuzo, made solely from single malts distilled at its Mars Shinshu and Mars Tsunuki distilleries. The blend is matured at the company's Yakushima ageing cellars on the subtropical island of Yakushima in Kagoshima, where the warm, humid sea air shapes its character.

Lightly peated at 15ppm and bottled at 49% ABV, it opens with sun-ripened tangerine, peach and banana alongside sea breeze, vanilla and soft white smoke. The palate is thick with tropical fruit, delicate peat smoke and a mineral saltiness, before a rich, oily taste lingers long on the finish. A well-balanced and characterful dram for those exploring Japanese whisky.
