Mars Komagatake Limited Edition 2018 Bourbon & American White Oak Barrels 48%abv

P1050407Nose: Vanilla, toffee apples, baked pears, deck stain, honey, white flowers.
Palate: Honey, lemon butter, toffee, apple crumble, orange sherbet, peanut butter, menthol. Errs towards the sweet side but not cloying.
Finish: Peanut butter, pear juice, pie crust. Decent length.
Last Word: Well made, approachable but not particularly complex. Can we really expect a lot complexity from all these young whiskies though? If you have tried a few Mars Whiskies of this age and cask types you won’t find any real surprises.

Rating: 82/100
