The Y.A. #5 is a Japanese blended malt from Mars, bottled at 49% in a 70cl bottle. It is matured on Yakushima Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its humidity, and combines Komagatake's alpine distillates with the richer Tsunuki spirit.
The malts are matured mainly in bourbon casks, developing in the island climate between tropical fruit and sea spray.
The nose brings tanned leather, moist moss and soft peat smoke, balanced by ripe banana and tankan. The palate is silky, with gentle smoke, honeyed fruit, a hint of salinity and fine oak. The finish is long and warming, with sweet smoke and umami.
