Volume: 700ml          ABV: 43%          Age: No Age Statement         Country: Japan

This is a second edition release of this bottling from the Mars Distillery. The name ‘Lucky Cat’ came about as the owner of the distillery owns a cat and has fallen in love with his feline friend. He was waiting for the day he could produce a product that allowed him to use a name that related to his companion.

The whisky is a vatting malt which was aged in ex-Bourbon barrels ex-Brandy barrels and ex-Sherry barrels combined with blended grain.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Lots of fresh fruits, mainly orange and apples.

Palate: The orange comes through on the palate, some citrus and plenty of creamy vanilla. Raw cookie dough, like licking the baking bowl afterward.

Finish: Mint and extremely well balanced.
