This was the first release from the MARS Shinshu distillery after its reopening. Distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2014. Surprisingly good for a 3-year old whisky. There were 6000 bottles in the release, which became highly desirable, resulting in the exorbitant price. Tasted at Bar Brora (Sapporo JAPAN)
