DESCRIPTION

The Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Japanese Whisky is a single grain whisky from Japan, distilled at the Hioki Distillery and aged at the Kanosuke Distillery in Kagoshima. This release has an alcohol content of 51% ABV and is inspired by Irish whisky production, influenced by a long tradition of Shochu distillation.

This whisky is made from malted and unmalted barley and distilled in a special stainless steel pot still, typically used for Shochu. The maturation takes place in new American white oak barrels as well as bourbon barrels, which gives the whisky remarkable depth and complexity.

The flavor profile of the Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still is rich and layered. On the nose, notes of freshly chopped wood, stone fruits, and citrus fruits unfold. On the palate, a mix of vanilla, orange marmalade, and butterscotch is revealed, rounded off by a pleasant sweetness and spiciness.

This whisky is non-chill filtered, preserving its natural aromas and textures.

  • Kanosuke - Single Malt Japanese Whisky

    In the warm southwest of Japan, the East China Sea meets Fukiagehama Beach, one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in the country. This beach stretches over approximately 50 kilometers along the coast of Kagoshima Prefecture, home to the Mars Tsunuki Distillery. Since 2017, the Kanosuke Distillery has offered a new vantage point of the white dunes of Fukiagehama.

    The Kanosuke Distillery, known for its high-quality Japanese whiskies, operates with three unique pot stills. The copper stills, made in Japan, differ in the shape of the neck and the angle of the lyne arm. Through repeated distillation in different stills and blending the distillates from the pot-still trio, Kanosuke is able to create whiskies with great depth and smooth texture.

    Kanosuke Single Malts are based on barley malt from the UK, Europe, Australia, and Japan, with an 85:15 ratio of peated to unpeated malt. For future blended Japanese whiskies, Kanosuke has also been producing grain whisky since 2010. The fermentation lasts 96 hours and uses distiller's and brewer's yeast.

    The aging process at Kanosuke mainly takes place in re-charred American white oak barrels that previously held "Mellowed Kozuru." Additionally, the distillery uses bourbon barrels, sherry casks, wine casks, IPA-seasoned casks, and Mizunara oak casks.

    The Kanosuke Distillery offers a unique insight into the world of Japanese whisky. Using regional resources and innovative techniques, it creates whiskies with a distinctive character.
