Mars Shinshu — Frequently Asked Questions
Both are single malts from Mars Shinshu, but Komagatake is distilled at the original high-altitude Nagano site in the Japanese Alps, while Tsunuki is distilled at a second, subtropical site in Kagoshima — the warmer climate matures the whisky faster and gives it a distinct character.
