The Bottle

The second single malt Japanese whiskey from the Kanosuke distillery.

Single Malt KANOSUKE 2021 SECOND EDITION is a single malt Japanese whiskey produced at the Kanosuke Distillery in 2018. It is made from non-peated malt and matured in bourbon barrels, with multiple barrels vatted and bottled at cask strength.

The sea breeze that blows through the Kanosuke distillery gets colder every day, and the whiskey spends its time maturing gently.

Please enjoy the elegant sweetness and bitterness that is matured in the gentle sea breeze. (From the manufacturer’s website)

Our Take

Although it seems to be a little stiff and violent immediately after opening the bottle, it gradually opens up as time passes. After adding a very small amount of water, the aroma regains its composure and changes to a clean and crisp mouthfeel. The impression changes drastically. As with the First Edition, this whisky has been highly praised by whisky lovers since its release.
