Mars Shinshu Distillery lies at the foot of Mt. Komagatake among Nagano Central Alps and it is 798 meters above sea level.

We can use spring water which cleaned by granite and the place features a big temperature difference during the year.

It goes down to minus 15 degrees in winter and it goes up to 30 degrees in summer. We would like to express the character of Mars Shinshu Distillery; Clean and Rich, which can be created by both environment and whisky production.

The whisky goes well with various casks and we experiment many different casks such as wine, plum liqueur, calvados, beer and coffee etc.
