Mars Komagatake Limited Edition 2024
シングルモルト駒ヶ岳 2024エディション
About
The 2024 annual limited release from Mars Komagatake distillery, vatted from a selection of ex-bourbon, sherry, and wine casks. Each year the blend profile shifts slightly as the blenders work with what the alpine climate of Miyada village has produced. This edition leans fruity and approachable while maintaining the distillery's signature highland character.
Tasting Notes
Fresh apricot, citrus zest, honeyed malt, light vanilla, and a subtle floral note.
Rich toffee and dark fruit upfront, followed by citrus peel, baking spices, and a pleasant nuttiness from the sherry influence. Wine cask adds a berry undertone.
Medium to long. Gentle oak, dried fruit, and a clean malty sweetness that lingers.
What People Are Saying
Annual limited edition from Komagatake, built around bourbon cask core with sherry and wine cask components. Released August 2024. Domestic price around 9,020 yen. Consistently one of the most anticipated Mars releases each year.
Regarded as excellent value in the Japanese single malt limited edition space. The 2024 edition reportedly leans more fruity than previous years. International prices range from $110-160 depending on market.

How to Enjoy
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the fruit and floral notes. A single large ice cube also works well.
