      Kanosuke Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml (First Release 2021)
      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.
