Whisky, 'The Lucky Cat, Choco and Luna'

Score

92

"The eighth edition of Mars™ œThe Lucky Cat” series is dedicated to May and Luna, the felines that call the producer™s Shinshu distillery home. With a blend of malt and grain whiskies, aged in ex-bourbon, sherry, new American oak, and ex-Sakura casks, it opens with a spray of green apple and salty seawater. Lingering underneath is a subtle but distinctive note akin to seaweed salad. None of this prepares for the smoky cloud of peat that arrives on the palate, while bursts of fresh citrus maintain freshness and balance."
