      The Kanosuke Single Malt Japanese Whisky 2023 Edition is a groundbreaking release from the Kanosuke Distillery, marking their first-ever peated expression. This whisky is the result of a long-standing passion for innovation, crafted from peated malt distilled in 2018 and 2019. The whisky is aged in a blend of re-charred American white oak barrels previously used for Mellowed Kozaru Shochu and ex-Sherry casks, resulting in a rich and intense profile. Bottled at cask strength of 59% ABV, this release offers a fascinating interplay between light peaty notes and the depth of sherry-influenced sweetness. The whisky reflects the distillery’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of Japanese whisky-making while remaining deeply rooted in its unique maritime environment along the East China Sea.

      Kanosuke Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml (2023 Edition)
      Kanosuke

      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.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Aromatic Peat with Rich Sherry Influence

      A light yet distinctive peaty ashiness, enhanced by aromas of spiced honey, mulled wine, cacao powder, and fruitcake. Subtle medicinal notes provide an intriguing depth, while hints of mint and light charcoal add to the complexity of this whisky.

      PALATE
      Oily, Herbaceous, Sweet Undertones

      The whisky is rich and oily, with a herbaceous profile of eucalyptus, mint, and a hint of cough syrup. This evolves into delicate glutinous rice cakes, with a sweet and translucent rice flavour, complemented by notes of cinnamon, spiced honey, and apple pie filling. A touch of milk chocolate sweetness rounds out the flavour profile, adding a layer of indulgence.

      FINISH
      Warm, Lingering, Touch of Sweetness

      Long, warm, and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet spiced honey, rice cake sweetness, and a hint of candy corn. The light peat reappears, offering a gentle layer of soot and ash, completing the whisky with a final touch of smoky depth.
