Description Mars Iwai Blue Whisky is a “Bourbon-inspired” dram. The mash bill is approximately 75% corn and 25% malted barley to facilitate fermentation and open up the floral aromatics. The Spirit is aged in ex-Bourbon casks as well, lending even more Bourbon flavors to each sip. The resulting Spirit is bottle in a double-hopped bottle at 40% ABV. Tasting notes Appearance / Color Medium Amber Nose / Aroma / Smell On the nose you’ll find carnations and orchard fruits in addition to vanilla and caramel notes. Flavor / Taste / Palate The palate opens with menthol and vanilla extract over notes of wet oak, bitter orange, and burnt demerara sugar. Finish The finish is medium-length with a lingering heat.
