Cask #3 in the Bakemono Zukushi “Monster” Scroll-inspired series depicts Dōmo-Kōmo, a two-headed creature that pairs perfectly with this double-cask vatting of new-make spirits from Mars Komagatake and Tsunuki distilleries that have been aged and blended in Yakushima.

- Aged exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels
- A nose of custard tart with fresh fruit and a hint of maple sugar leads to a pleasantly sharp palate of juicy orchard fruit and lively acidity; cardamom and clementine oil usher in the dry finish
