New notes comparing the 2022 & 2025 MARS TSUNUKI LIMITED EDITION SINGLE MALTS. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on these accomplished Japanese whiskies, one bourbon influenced and one a Sherry bomb. Kanpai! A new bottle from Westward is always welcomed—this one finished in PX Sherry casks. Cheers! This was an excellent bourbon. And these 2021 bottles are still out there, so, keep your eye on those rando corner store shelves. Cheers!
