Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Japanese Whisky

The Kanosuke Distillery was founded in 2017. The parent company is Komasa Jozo, which has been producing award-winning, high-quality honkaku shochus since 1883. The distillery is located in the town of Hioki in Kagoshima Prefecture, right on Japan's Fukiagehama Beach, one of the longest sandy beaches in southern Japan. For this reason, the distillery chose the motif of a sunset over the East China Sea for the label of its whisky line.

The distillery's biggest advantage is that it has three pot stills - most distilleries work with two pot stills. The necks and lyne arms are shaped differently, which enables the producers to distil whisky in a variety of ways and results in a special depth and multi-faceted aromas.

Kanosuke Hioki is strong and complex. Oak wood and a pleasant sweetness of toffee and vanilla as well as honey are evident, as are spices, dried fruit and cereals.

Aroma: Biscuits filled with buttercream and caramel, apricot, plum, citrus fruits.

Taste: Marmalade, vanilla, orange, almond.

Finish: Vanilla, dried ginger, cinnamon, light sweetness.

The Kanosuke Distillery was founded in 2017. The parent company is Komasa Jozo, which has been producing award-winning, high-quality honkaku shochus, Japan's traditional spirit, since 1883. The distillery is picturesquely located in the town of Hioki in Kagoshima Prefecture, directly on Japan's Fukiagehama Beach, one of the longest sandy beaches in the south of Japan.
The conditions for maturing whisky in Kagoshima Prefecture are ideal. Summers of up to 40°C and winters of around 4°C ensure large temperature differences throughout the year. This helps to accelerate the maturation process of the whisky.
