Highlight
Kanosuke Single Malt is the flagship whisky of Kanosuke Distillery in Kagoshima. Bottled at 48% ABV in a 70 cl format, it is crafted with the influence of shochu production techniques and a vatting that highlights the use of re-charred ex-shochu casks alongside other maturation wood types. Its profile combines ripe fruit, black tea, gentle citrus, honey and fine spices.

History and character
Kanosuke was born within the Komasa group, a family with long experience in Kagoshima distillates and a deep connection to shochu production.
That heritage does not appear here merely as brand narrative, but as a technical influence visibly present in the whisky's style and in the choice of certain casks.
The Single Malt's character combines aromatic refinement, a welcoming texture and a clearly defined local personality.
More than a standard-profile Japanese single malt, Kanosuke Single Malt conveys a distinct identity built through maturation and regional expertise. The imprint of the ex-shochu casks and the balance between sweetness, spice and freshness make it a contemporary, elegant and highly recognisable bottle within the current Japanese landscape.
