The Kanosuke Single Malt Japanese Whisky 2022 Edition is a remarkable expression that captures the essence of the Kanosuke Distillery’s philosophy: "mellow land, mellow whisky." Produced between 2017 and 2019, this single malt whisky is crafted with unpeated malt and aged in a combination of carefully selected barrels, including key sherry casks. Bottled at cask strength, this release embodies the delicate balance of sweet, rich flavours with a complex depth, drawing inspiration from the distillery’s coastal climate and expertise in maturation. The whisky is smooth, full-bodied, and lingering, with each sip reminiscent of the sun setting slowly over the East China Sea. This exceptional edition is a celebration of Kanosuke's commitment to creating beautiful, mellow whisky with impeccable character.

Kanosuke Distillery, established in 2017, has quickly become one of Japan’s most exciting whisky producers. Situated on the coastline of Kagoshima Prefecture, known for its stunning sunsets, Kanosuke’s location offers a unique maritime influence on the whisky maturation process. The distillery is a part of the Komasa Jyozo company, which has a long history of shochu production, and has since expanded to crafting exceptional single malt whiskies under the leadership of Yoshitsugu Komasa. Kanosuke’s distinctive approach includes the use of three different pot stills, each contributing its own character to the whisky. This innovation, combined with the distillery’s commitment to excellence, allows Kanosuke to create complex, yet approachable single malts that reflect the company’s dedication to craftsmanship.

At Kanosuke Distillery, the philosophy is rooted in innovation, tradition, and respect for nature. Drawing from the expertise of the Komasa Jyozo company in shochu production, the distillery blends centuries-old techniques with modern craftsmanship to produce whisky that embodies the best of both worlds. Kanosuke believes that whisky making is an art that requires a delicate balance of science and intuition. The distillery’s use of three distinct pot stills, along with its commitment to the finest casks for maturation, results in a whisky that offers complexity, subtlety, and harmony. The coastal climate of Kagoshima, combined with the team’s rigorous attention to detail, creates a whisky that reflects the environment while upholding the highest standards of Japanese whisky making.

Tasting notes

NOSE
Fruity and Rich

The nose is filled with inviting aromas of dried fruits, including raisins and figs, complemented by rich sherry notes. There is a touch of vanilla and honeyed sweetness, balanced by hints of toasted oak and light spices.

PALATE
Smooth and Full-Bodied

Smooth with layers of dried fruit, honey, and rich malt. The influence of sherry casks adds depth, with flavours of dark chocolate and a hint of dried herbs. The whisky is full-bodied yet elegant, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.

FINISH
Long and Mellow

Long, soft, and mellow, with lingering notes of dried fruits, oak, and subtle spice. The whisky’s warmth and depth create a satisfying end, like the slow, tranquil setting of the sun over the East China Sea.
