Special VAP : FOC 2 Limited Edition IWAI Whisky Glasses

Mars Iwai Tradition is a malt-dominant blended whisky from the Mars (マルス) Whisky brand. It takes the mash bill of the standard Iwai (岩井) Blended and flips it to 75% malted barley and 25% corn. A touch of the malt is peated. Aging of this NAS whisky occurs in ex-Bourbon, Sherry, and wine casks.

In the glass, Mars Iwai Tradition has a bronze color and a moderate aromatic intensity. It’s also slightly drier than the regular Iwai with a faint whiff of herbal smoke. Notes include: honeyed malt, prunes, red raisin, banana, orange peel, cinnamon, vanilla, toffee, and burnt brown sugar. Overall, Mars Iwai Tradition is a fairly serious blended Japanese whisky.
