Kanosuke Single Malt 2021 FIRST EDITION Bottling Note

Kanosuke Single Malt 2021 FIRST EDITION is a 3-year-old single malt whisky from the Kanosuke Distillery in Kagoshima, Japan. Made from 100% malted barley, it is aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and mellowed kozuru shochu barrels. The mellowness of the whisky is due to the use of kozuru barrels, which are made from Japanese oak that is softer than American oak. This gives the whisky a more delicate flavor, with notes of vanilla and caramel from the ex-bourbon barrels.

The whisky has a complex flavor profile with notes of honey, vanilla, fruit, and spice. It is a smooth and elegant whisky.

Kanosuke Single Malt 2021 FIRST EDITION was released in a limited edition of 1,200 bottles. It was bottled at cask strength. This gives the whisky a full-bodied flavor that is perfect for those who enjoy bold whiskies.
