Kanosuke – Single Malt GoGo Bar Liquor Museum (70cl, 48%)

GoGo is a single malt made at Kanosuke Distillery in Hioki, Kagoshima, in collaboration with NBG Co., the company behind the Bar Liquor Museum chain of bars. It is bottled at 48% in a 70cl bottle and carries no age statement. The base is spirit matured in re-charred shochu casks, combined with malt matured in other casks including bourbon, and finished with peated malt whisky. The blend was overseen by the whisky writer Kuririn. Sweetness and fruitiness from the shochu casks form the foundation, with citrus, ripe fruit, honey, spice and toasted wood. Gentle peat smoke adds depth without dominating.
