Product details
Mars Maltage Cosmo Manzanilla Cask Finish 2022 is a limited edition Japanese whisky that beautifully blends Japanese craftsmanship with Spanish influence. This expression, crafted at the Shinshu distillery in the Japanese Alps, features a blend of single malts finished in Manzanilla sherry casks from Andalusia, Spain. The whisky offers a smooth texture and a rich aromatic profile, with notes of dried fruits, cocoa, brown sugar, and maple syrup, enhanced by the Manzanilla cask finish, which adds slightly vinous and nutty nuances typical of sherry cask-aged whiskies.
In the glass, it reveals a warm amber hue and a complex nose with floral, citrus, and subtle briny notes. The palate is well-balanced, combining sweet maltiness with dried fruits, vanilla, and a touch of sea salt, while the finish lingers with a smooth, gentle warmth and hints of coastal breezes. Best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water, this whisky pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy cheeses, or desserts featuring almonds or citrus, making it a versatile and refined choice for whisky enthusiasts.
