About Mars TsunukiJapan
Mars Tsunuki Distillery is in Tsunuki, Kaseda, Minamisatsuma City, Kagoshima Prefecture, the birthplace of its owner Hombo Shuzo. Hombo Shuzo began producing whisky in 1949 and introduced the Mars Whisky brand in 1960, but paused distillation in Kagoshima in 1984. The company completed the Tsunuki distillery in November 2016, resuming malt whisky distillation in Kagoshima after 32 years. Hombo Shuzo points to the basin climate with large temperature swings and spring water from the Mount Kurata range. Its first single malt, Single Malt TSUNUKI THE FIRST, was released on 22 April 2020 as 9,984 bottles, and a limited Tsunuki edition has followed every year since, with the 2022 edition the earliest still listed.
