The Iwai name honours Kiichiro Iwai, known as the father of Mars whisky, and Hombo says the range is made using the Iwai pot stills that have been working for half a century. Hombo’s main whisky distillery, Mars Shinshu, sits in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture.
Serve it in a Japanese-style highball with chilled soda and plenty of ice, or neat with a splash of water. It suits yakitori, karaage, sushi and light grilled dishes.
