About this product
An alpine distillate of rare balance and Japanese soul.
Born in the shadow of the Japanese Alps, Komagatake 2021 Edition is a single malt whisky that reflects both place and patience. Distilled at the famed Shinshu Mars Distillery — Japan’s highest — this limited release captures the pristine mountain air, crystal-clear spring water, and a meticulous craftsmanship honed over decades.
The 2021 Edition is composed of spirit aged in a mix of ex-bourbon, sherry, and port casks, selected to express the distillery's signature balance between elegant fruit, silky malt, and soft oak. The result is a whisky of serene complexity, offering harmony between sweetness, spice, and delicate smoke — a slow sip of Japan’s high-altitude serenity.
Why we love it:
This is Japanese single malt at its most graceful — layered yet approachable, crafted with elevation and intention. For connoisseurs and collectors alike, it’s a serene escape in a glass.
