About

The second New Born release. Won Best Japanese New Make at the 2020 World Whisky Awards, putting Kanosuke firmly on the map as a serious craft distillery. Showed surprising maturity for its age thanks to the coastal Kagoshima climate.

What People Are Saying

Dear WHISKY notes Kanosuke's location along Fukiage Beach on Kagoshima's west coast influences the maturation character. The 9,000 square meter facility houses three distinct pot stills, enabling diverse new make styles for the New Born releases.

「鹿児島県の西海岸、吹上浜沿いの約9,000平方メートルの敷地に位置する蒸溜所。3基のポットスチルはそれぞれネック形状やラインアームの角度が異なり、多様な原酒を生み出している。」
