Kanosuke New Born 2018

Went into operation in 2018, Kanosuke is located on the west coast of Kagoshima Prefecture. They believe by using pot stills with different neck shapes and lyne arm angle, they can offer whisky of richer flavors and aromas. The distillery managed to capture Best Japanese Craft Distillery of the Year in TWSC2019, and their New Born 2018 was awarded Best New Comer.Matured in re-charred American white oak barrels for 8 months, Kanosuke believes this bottle allows connoisseurs to think about what shape will be taken by the future whisky. On nose there is slight sweetness of maple and roasted oak aroma, while on palate is young, with malt sweetness and freshness of green apples, it finishes with a cinnamon-like spiciness.
