Shinshu Mars Iwai 45 Japanese Whisky 90 Proof 750ml

Shinshu Mars Iwai 45 Japanese Whisky 90 Proof 750ml

  • Distillery / Region: Mars Shinshu (Nagano Prefecture, Japan)

  • Blend / Mash Bill: Approximately 70% corn and 30% malted barley 

  • Aging / Casks: Aged in ex‑bourbon barrels, non‑age‑statement (2–5 years typical)

  • ABV / Proof: 45% ABV (90 proof) — a higher‑proof version of Mars’s standard Iwai, intended to give more presence in cocktails while still being drinkable neat

  • Positioning: Though it can be drunk neat, this expression is crafted to perform well in mixed drinks and modern cocktails (e.g. highballs) 

Tasting Notes

Nose (Aroma):
Vanilla and butterscotch up front, with subtle hints of strawberry and baked apple. You may also detect honey, barley, and light citrus or exotic‑wood undertones. 

Palate (Flavor):
Sweet and rich: honeyed sugar, pear, apricot, vanilla, and toffee. There’s a touch of spice (such as white pepper or nutmeg) and a soft cereal grain character in the background. 

Finish:
Long, lingering finish with cereal, caramel, vanilla, and a touch of white chocolate or nougat. Some reviewers describe a soft echo of spice or oak on the tail.
