Mars Malt of Kagoshima 1984 is a very rare Japanese whisky from the now-closed Kagoshima distillery from Mars. It features a vatting of five sherry casks. Distilled in May 1984, and sherry matured for a total of 25 years before bottling in October 2009. Only 3,018 Bottles were released.

This bottling is indeed a very important one for Mars collectors given its historical significance to the Mars distillery.

Background: In 1984, Hombo Shuzo closed the Kagoshima distillery and relocated production to Shinshu, marking a significant shift in Mars whisky production. The original Kagoshima style, developed from Masataka Taketsuru's detailed notes and established by expert Kichiiro Iwai in 1960, was known for its smoky and heavy character. This style did not gain sufficient popularity in Japan, prompting Mars to develop a lighter, more refined Japanese whisky at their new Shinshu facility in 1985. In 2009, Mars released the final five casks from Kagoshima as The Malt of Kagoshima, making this bottling a historically significant collector's piece that represents the end of an important era in Mars distillery history.
