Product details
The Kanosuke 2022 Limited Edition Cask Strength Single Malt Japanese Whisky is a remarkable expression from the Kanosuke Distillery, known for its dedication to blending tradition with innovation. Founded in 2017 by Komasa Jozo, this distillery has produced its first single malt whisky using unpeated malt distilled in 2017 and 2018. The whisky was aged in a combination of re-charred American white oak barrels and ex-Kozuru shochu barrels, resulting in a rich and fruity profile with notes of orchard fruits, sweet oak, and spice. With an impressive 58% alcohol by volume and non-chill filtered, this limited release exemplifies the art of Japanese whisky-making.
On the nose, the Kanosuke 2022 Limited Edition reveals a deep amber hue and a complex bouquet of rich malt, honey, dried fruit, oak, and floral sweetness. The palate offers a sophisticated blend of toffee, vanilla, and subtle spice, culminating in a long, warming finish that showcases the whisky’s depth and craftsmanship. To fully appreciate its complexity, it is best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass, with the option of adding a few drops of water to enhance its nuances.
This versatile whisky pairs well with various dishes, making it an excellent match for sushi, sashimi, grilled meats, teriyaki, and even rich chocolate desserts. Its intricate flavors and balance make it an ideal choice for quiet contemplation and sharing among connoisseurs. The Kanosuke 2022 Limited Edition stands as a testament to Japanese whisky mastery, offering a refined and distinctive experience that highlights the artistry and innovation of its creators.
