About

A peated expression of Kanosuke single malt. 88 Bamboo described it as having gentle, accommodating peat with more earthy peat character than outright smokiness. The peat complements rather than dominates the distillery's signature fruity character.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Earthy peat, gentle smoke, tropical fruit undertones

Palate

Gentle, accommodating peat with earthy character, fruit sweetness underneath

Finish

Medium with lingering earthy peat, mild smoke, sweetness

What People Are Saying

Dear WHISKY notes that Kanosuke Distillery was established in 2018 by Komasa Kanosuke Distillery, leveraging over 130 years of barrel aging expertise from shochu production. The distillery features three uniquely configured pot stills with different neck shapes and lyne arm angles.

「小正醸造の前身である小正商店が1883年に創業。1957年に日本初となる全量樽熟成焼酎「メローコヅル」を発売し、樽熟成の技術を確立。2018年に嘉之助蒸溜所を設立しウイスキーの蒸留を開始。」
