Iwai Whiskey 45 Green Label is crafted by Mars Shinshu Distillery, located in the Nagano Prefecture of Japan. This whiskey is inspired by the great whiskies of America, featuring a mash bill that leans heavily on corn, complemented by malted barley. It is aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, which impart a rich and complex flavor profile. The whiskey is bottled at 45% ABV, offering a robust character with notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of spice, balanced by a smooth, mellow finish. The distillery, nestled in the Japanese Alps, benefits from the region's pure water and distinct climate, contributing to the unique taste of this whiskey.
