Kanosuke Mellow Single Malt Japanese Whisky is a masterful blend that marks the debut of the Kanosuke Distillery’s core range. Crafted with the utmost care, this whisky showcases the innovative spirit of the distillery, situated along the scenic coast of Kagoshima. The combination of three distinct pot stills, along with maturation in re-charred American white oak ex-“Mellowed Kozuru” shochu casks, gives this whisky its signature richness and depth. The result is a beautifully mellow whisky with a uniquely Japanese character, offering a harmonious balance of bold yet smooth flavours. With a rich amber hue, the whisky envelops the senses in ripe citrus, honey, and caramel aromas, leading to a delightful tasting experience with ginger, honey, and lightly smoked nuts. Its sweet aroma and gently bitter finish linger, leaving an impression of refinement and elegance.

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.
