We have a new Japanese whisky cocktail in the form of some “very nice peach tea”.

Momo Cho Naisu Cha!

Iwai American style whisky, housemade preserved peaches, black ice tea, housemade vanilla syrup, dash of lemon and some peach bitters.

Iwai American style whisky – from Mars Shinshu distillery in Japan –  is inspired by great whiskies of America. Kiichiro Iwai, the name sake for this Mars Whisky, was a silent pioneer of Japananese whisky. The whisky itself is a blend of mostly American corn whiskey and about 10 percent of Mars’ own single malt whisky that is then aged in ex-bourbon barrels.  Very approachable for those who are new to Japanese whisky or those who like Bourbon and other American styles of whiskey.

Enjoy.
