Description

Kanosuke Distillery single malt whisky is distilled, matured and bottled in Kyushu, the most southerly of Japan's four main islands. The Komasa family were pioneers in barrel-ageing shochus and bring this expertise in maturation to the production of Kanosuke Distillery's whiskies. This Artist Edition #003 is a Japanese whisky that captures Kagoshima's essence, focusing on the “earth” element. It is a blend of malt whiskies from various casks, including bourbon, re-charred, sherry, and red wine, before being finished in a Kokuto Shochu cask. The label design, created by Yukihito Kanai, reflects the earth theme and pays tribute to Kagoshima's rich terroir. [cite: Scotch Whisky Auctions, 2, 3, 7]

Nose
Vibrant and inviting, with notes of tropical fruits, passion fruit, banana, caramel, black tea, pineapple, Japanese citrus, and clove.
Palate
A delightful medley of brown sugar, honey, nikki (cinnamon-like spice), sweet summer fruits, melon, peach, ginger, molasses, white pepper, tropical fruit acidity, and a subtle saltiness.
Finish
Long and satisfying, characterized by rich brown sugar sweetness, slowly giving way to a whisper of smoke and a touch of salty minerality.
