Mars Whisky “The Lucky Cat Double Individuals May & Hana” is the 10th release in the popular “Lucky Cat” blended whisky series by Hombo Shuzo. This limited edition celebrates the personalities of two cats from the distillery’s founder’s household, May (20 years old) and Hana (8 years old), symbolizing contrasting traits of calmness and playfulness.
Mr. Hombo shares: "May and Hana are the only two among our four cats who prefer staying indoors. May, in particular, limits her activities to about 5 meters, from the living room to the kitchen. While her eccentric personality has mellowed significantly, she remains an old cat with a childlike spirit. Hana loves being on my wife's bed and often stays there all day, her gentle nature unchanged. And when it comes to doting on my wife, they're neck and neck! The sweet flavors of this blended whisky, derived from PX Sherry and Port casks, bring to mind these two sweet and affectionate cats."
Nose: Raw caramel, milk chocolate, vanilla ice cream, raspberry, tangerine. Palate: Dried mandarin oranges, wine grapes, tannic bitterness, fruit gum. Finish: Oak-derived sweetness and peculiar bitterness linger with mild sweetness from grains.
