Mars Cosmo is aged in Sherry, Bourbon, and American white oak casks.
‘COSMO’ is the name of a mountain in the Japan Central Alps close to the Mars Shinshu distillery.
This is a limited bottling of Cosmo, which has been extra-seasoned in red wine casks.
The shiny ruby red colour is extracted from red wine cask. On the nose, fruitiness and warm spiciness are present.
It has soft and round mouthfeel, and Umami from the red wine cask interact very well with Cosmo’s ripe fruit character with vanilla and cinnamon flavours as a result of further maturation in red wine casks. A long finish with elegant tannins and black tea.
