Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still
嘉之助 日置ポットスチル
About
A pot still grain whisky made at the Hioki Distillery (original Komasa Jyozo site) using both unmalted and malted barley. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels and American oak casks, it bridges the gap between the single malt and the blended expression. GreatDrams described it as aromatic, rich, and full bodied.

What People Are Saying
Featured as a JAL duty free exclusive, indicating strong industry recognition. Tasting notes highlight creme brulee, fresh oak, apricots, and green plums blended with vanilla and caramel sauce.
Rated well on Whiskybase with praise for its impressive oily and silky texture. The pot still approach using unmalted barley creates a unique Japanese whisky experience.
