The Mars Maltage Cosmo is a Japanese blended malt whisky from Hombo Shuzo, which was released in 2015 for the Tokyo Bar Show. For the Cosmo, the company uses both its own single malt whisky and imported single malts from Scotland. The result is a full-bodied symbiosis of two great whisky nations, round and balanced in taste with fine, spicy and sweet notes.

Mars Maltage Cosmo is produced at the Shinshu Mars Distillery in Miyada in Nagano Prefecture on the island of Honshu. The distillery is one of the highest in the world and is located in the Japanese Alps at an altitude of 798 meters. Hombo Shuzo chose this location because of its cool temperatures, which slow down the maturation of the whiskies, and because of the groundwater fed by the snowmelt, which is particularly soft. The name "Cosmo" refers to one of the mountain peaks near the distillery.

Mars Maltage is characterized by a rich and full aroma. Sweet notes of honey and caramel can be found alongside ripe fruit. A slight smokiness and gentle oak notes provide the necessary complexity. Only malt and no grain whisky is used here, and it is an NAS (Non Age Statement) whisky with no age statement. Overall, the Mars Maltage Cosmo is a smooth, round whisky full of character.

Aroma: Ripe fruit such as mango and cherry. Sweet with honey.

Taste: Spicy, complex, gentle smoky note, light oak aroma.

Finish: Medium-long and fruity.

About the manufacturer

Hombo Shuzo is a traditional producer of alcoholic beverages, founded in 1872. Originally planned as a shochu distillery, the company first applied for a whisky license in 1949. In 1985, this was successful and the long-awaited distillery was opened in Shinshu to produce whisky with special Japanese characteristics. The distillery is located in the small village of Miyada high up in the Japanese Alps in Nagano, 798 meters above sea level and not far from Tokyo. Due to a lack of demand - almost unimaginable today - whisky production was discontinued in 1992. In 2011, the producer then ventured a new start in whisky. Today, Hombo Shuzo is one of Japan's most important and renowned whisky producers with its Mars bottlings. Hombo's shochus are extremely popular and win one gold medal after another in global spirit competitions. Hombo Shuzo now has three distilleries in Japan: in addition to the Mars Shinshu Distillery in Nagano, there is also the Tsunuki Distillery and the Chiran Distillery, both located in Kagoshima Prefecture.
