Kanosuke – Single Malt Limited Edition 2023

Kanosuke Single Malt Limited Edition 2023 is a Japanese single malt made from peated whisky distilled between 2018 and 2019. Master blender Yoshitsugu Komasa and team matured it in Mellowed Kozuru casks and sherry casks. Kanosuke began distilling in 2017 with three pot stills, each differing in the shape of its neck and the angle of its lyne arm. Distillates from the trio are re-distilled or blended to build depth and a notably soft texture. The nose is sweet, fruity and pleasantly smoky. On the palate come herbal notes, apple pie and gentle cinnamon spice, leading to a long, warm finish of spiced honey and soft peat.
