Mars Japanese Whiskey Iwai Sakura 750ml

Cherry Blossom Season in a Cask — Mars Iwai Sakura

Mars Iwai Sakura takes the signature whisky of Japan's highest distillery and finishes it in sakura (cherry blossom) wood casks — one of the most distinctly Japanese finishing techniques in the whisky world. The sakura wood imparts a delicate, floral character that is impossible to achieve with any other cask type, creating a whisky that celebrates Japan's most beloved seasonal tradition.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Delicate and floral. Sakura blossom leads with a gentle fruit sweetness, a hint of vanilla, and the clean alpine character of Mars Shinshu.
• Palate: Light and elegant. Floral sakura and fruit interplay with a gentle sweetness and a clean, refreshing complexity.
• Finish: Clean and floral. Sakura sweetness lingers with a delicate, uniquely Japanese close.
