We head back over to Japan with a look at Mars Distilleries including Shinshu and Tsunuki. Both Charles and I have visited Shinshu and had different experiences but all in all, this is a distillery worth the 4 hours one-way on public transit.

We also would like to hear from all of you about our 2023 whiskey travel plans. Charles owns a company called Rascal + Thorn which is a culinary and whiskey tour company. He has led trips to Japan, Scotland, Kentucky, Ireland, and other destinations with groups looking to hunt down the most immersive and fun whiskey experiences! We discuss some of our travel ideas and want to hear from all of you on what you would like to see and maybe you can join us on some of these travels. Write to us at info@firstfillspirits.com with your comments & ideas.

Please leave us a review wherever you are listening as well. We appreciate you! Cheers!
