• Distilled from 70% corn and 30% malted barley
• Aged 2–5 years in ex-bourbon barrels; non-age statement
• A nose of chocolate-covered shortbread precedes a palate of brown sugar and ripe pear with confident structure; a whisper of red fruit appears on the finish
• #19 on Whisky Advocate’s list of Top 20 Whiskies of 2020
• 45% ABV

 Mars Shinshu’s blue-labeled Iwai (pronounced E-Y) is kicked up to 45% ABV for further cocktailing versatility.
