Komagatake is the flagship single malt whisky brand from Mars Shinshu Distillery, Japan's highest whisky distillery located in Miyada village, Nagano Prefecture, at the foot of the Japanese Alps at 798 meters elevation. Owned by Hombo Shuzo, the distillery was originally founded in 1949 but moved to its current alpine location in 1985. After reopening in 2011 following a period of hiatus, Komagatake has emerged as one of Japan's most exciting whisky brands, garnering international acclaim for its elegant, refined expressions that showcase the unique terroir of high-altitude maturation. The brand's limited edition releases, including the popular 'Limited Edition' series and age-statement bottlings, are highly sought after by collectors worldwide, characterized by delicate fruit notes, subtle smoke, and exceptional balance.
