Mars Iwai Tradition Whisky is manufactured at Mars’s Shinshu distillery, which located in Nagano Prefecture at 798 meters above sea level. The environment of Shinshu distillery is surrounded by granitic soil with crystal clear water source, which is perfect for the high standard whisky production. Iwai collection is named after the creator of Mars distillery, Kiichiro Iwai, who is also the former boss of Masataka Taketsuru.

Mars Iwai Tradition is one of the best values in the Japanese whisky market.
Mars Iwai Tradition is a malt-dominant blended whisky from the Mars (マルス) Whisky brand. It takes the mash bill of the standard Iwai (岩井) Blended and flips it to 75% malted barley and 25% corn. A touch of the malt is peated. Aging of this NAS whisky occurs in ex-Bourbon, Sherry, and wine casks. Considering this level of complexity, Mars Iwai Tradition is actually available for a surprisingly low price. That’s rare in the Japanese whisky category.
