The Kanosuke 2021 1st Edition is the inaugural single malt whisky release from the Kanosuke Distillery, which was established in 2017 in Kagoshima, Japan by Komasa Jozo, a well-known shochu producer. This expression is distilled from unpeated malt and matured for at least three years in a combination of re-charred American white oak and ex-Mellowed Kozuru casks, the latter being a type of shochu aged in casks developed by the company in the late 1950s.
This whisky is a small-batch, cask-strength single malt with an ABV of 58%. It offers a pure and honest representation of the distillery's talents and is a must-try for Japanese whisky enthusiasts. It distinguishes itself with a soft and fruity profile, featuring notes of orchard fruit, sweet oak, and a hint of spice. Despite its strength, the whisky is surprisingly mellow, revealing complex layers over time.
The Kanosuke 2021 1st Edition opens with a nose rich in orange skin, black tea, and nutmeg, followed by white pear, pomegranates, ginger, and bourbon vanilla. Allowing it to breathe introduces dark fruits like dates, prunes, raisins, and hints of citrus fruits. The palate continues this complexity with bourbon vanilla, red and black fruits, candied apricot, and zesty citrus fruits, transitioning to a woody and praline mid-palate. The finish is long, with notes of bitterness, dark chocolate, and candied orange peel, evoking a blend of citrus and dark fruits.
