The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Iwai is a Japanese whisky from Mars Shinshu Distillery, named after Kiichiro Iwai, a quiet but influential pioneer of Japanese whisky-making. This expression is styled as a tribute to classic American whiskies, blending Japanese distilling precision with a profile inspired by bourbon and rye traditions.
Expect a nose of grain sweetness and gentle oak, with a palate that carries soft caramel and spice notes reminiscent of American whiskey styles, wrapped in the smooth, refined character typical of Japanese distilling. The finish is clean and balanced, without harsh heat.
This whisky is well suited to sipping neat or with a single large ice cube to slowly open up its flavors, and it also holds up nicely in classic cocktails like an old fashioned or whisky highball with soda. It pairs well with grilled meats, aged cheese, or dark chocolate.
Bottled at 750ml, it's a great choice for whisky drinkers curious about Japanese whisky beyond the more famous single malts. Order Iwai Mars Japanese Whisky online at Habits Bottle Shop and explore our growing selection of Japanese and international whiskies.

Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
