Overview

More Info

Kiichiro Iwai (pronounced "E-Y") is the namesake of this flagship blended whisky from Mars. Distilled in Nagano at their Komagatake distillery, this blend takes its inspiration from the great whiskies of the United States. Iwai Whisky is blended primarily from grain with the complexity of malted barley being the supporting component. Matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels, Iwai Whisky is at once approachable and robust without sacrificing flavor. This is a blend that will surely serve as the perfect introduction to the wide world of modern Japanese Whisky and create fans of Mars for years to come.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ 3/5 AI Rating

Reviewers on Distiller and The Whisky Study give Iwai mixed marks — one reviewer 2/5 calling it below-average despite creativity, others praise it as a bourbon-cask-matured value blend that trounces entry Scotch at $25. Crowd verdict: serviceable Japanese blend, US-style mash, more workhorse than wow.
