Description

Single Malt Kanosuke 2022 is a Limited Edition which embodies Kanosuke Distillery’s concept of “Mellow Land, Mellow Whisky” and was produced using all 3 of their pot stills, aged in several varieties of oak barrels, with sherry casks as key and blended together after 3 years of maturation. This exceptional single malt Japanese whisky was produced at Kanosuke Distillery between 2017 and 2019. Made with unpeated malt, it has been bottled at cask strength.
Unlike last year’s 2021 First Edition, which mainly used re-charred American white oak ex-“Mellowed Kozuru” aged rice shochu casks, and 2021 Second Edition, which used more traditional bourbon barrels, this whisky is characterized by the rich and enticing aromas of sherry cask-aged malt. Enjoy the flavor as it lingers on your palate, like the sun setting slowly over the East China Sea.

Rich, fruity, spicy. Dried berries, coffee candy, old noble wood.

Tasting notes

Nose : A complex balance between the freshness of lemon tea, the floral elegance of honey and roses, the acidity and saltiness of umeboshi plum along with the refined spiciness of Japanese nikki cinnamon.

Appearance : Ambre rougeoyant.

Palate : A pleasant fruitiness offered by the notes of dried berries like American cherries, well structured with the bitterness of chocolate and coffee candy, becoming deeper with an old noble woodiness.

Overall : The sherry casks delivers spicy notes with a pleasantly lingering bittersweetness.
