About

One of the first official single malt releases from Kanosuke distillery in Kagoshima. Located right on the coast of southern Kyushu, the maritime influence is evident. Quickly gained attention for quality despite the distillery's youth.

Nose

Tropical fruit, vanilla, citrus, honey, and a light coastal breeze

Palate

Rich and fruity with mango, vanilla, toffee, gentle spice, and a pleasant oiliness

Finish

Medium to long with tropical fruit, vanilla, and a hint of sea salt

How to Enjoy

Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water. The tropical character also works in a highball.
