🥃 Why Kanosuke?

On the golden sands of Fukiagehama Beach in Kagoshima, Kanosuke Distillery is redefining what Japanese whisky can be. 🌸🏖 With their philosophy of “MELLOW LAND, MELLOW WHISKY”, they create spirits that are richer, more soulful, and uniquely tied to Kagoshima’s shochu-making heritage.

For over 140 years, Komasa Jyozo — the family behind Kanosuke — has been making shochu at their Hioki facility. Shochu in Kagoshima is traditionally distilled from unmalted barley (mugi), a style known for its elegance and umami. This expertise inspired them to experiment with whisky made from both malted and unmalted barley, distilled in traditional Japanese pot stills.

At Kanosuke, they honor both traditions: malt whisky aged with coastal air in bourbon and sherry casks, and whiskies that echo Hioki’s classic style — lighter, silky, and reminiscent of their shochu roots.

🥃 On the line-up — 7 unique pours:

🌱 Kanosuke Newmake Spirits
A rare chance to taste the spirit before the barrel. Soft cereal notes, creamy texture, already hinting at the mellow house style.

🌊 Kanosuke Flagship Single Malt
Matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, this whisky shines with caramel sweetness, delicate smoke, and sea breeze salinity — a benchmark of the distillery.

🍶 Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still
An homage to their shochu heritage, made from a mix of malted & unmalted barley, distilled at Hioki, and aged in oak. Light yet layered, with herbal, nutty tones and a touch of shochu-like umami.

♻ Kanosuke Double Distillery
A blend of malts from both the Hioki and Kanosuke sites — a meeting of two philosophies. Notes of spice, honey, and warm oak harmonize beautifully.

🌸 Kanosuke Single Malt (2022 Limited Edition)
A highly sought-after bottling that deepens the coastal character — richer tropical fruit, minerality, and a whisper of peat. Almost impossible to find outside Japan.

🔥 Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still 2024 Limited Edition
A bolder, oakier, spicier evolution of the Hioki style — showcasing how their shochu-inspired approach can also deliver depth and power.

🪵 Secret Cask Sample
Something no one has tasted before — a one-off unreleased sample direct from Kanosuke’s cellars. A true insider’s pour.
