Description:
This Kanosuke Limited Edition 2023 release is a delicious addition to the range of single malt whiskies, and a rare gem arriving on our hot shores just in time for summer. The whisky is a marriage of peated malts distilled in 2018 and 2019, and then aged in re-charred American white oak barrels that had previously held Mellowed Kozaru Shochu as well as ex-Sherry casks, before being bottled at cask strength of 59% abv.

The unique blend of cask types used for maturation has resulted in a beautifully integrated whisky that will please even the staunchest whisky palate.

Master Blender, Yoshitsugu Komasa comments.
“Enjoy the flavour of rich and sweet mellowness with long lasting smokiness lingering on your palate”.
