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. Situated on Japan's longest sand beach, the distillery features a stunning tasting room called The Mellow Bar. This 'Single Malt Kanosuke 2021 SECOND EDITION' was produced using all 3 of the distillery's pot stills, aged for 3 years in several varieties of oak barrels, with re-charred bourbon barrels as key, and bottled at cask strength.
