嘉之助 Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Limited Edition 2024

Hioki Distillery has also joined the ranks of Kanosuke's limited edition series, with this being the second release after the first Pot Still Whisky. The ABV has been increased from 51% to 55%, and an additional type of cask used for maturation: Re-charred shochu cask, adding different aromas and flavors.

The aroma has a more pronounced creaminess, accompanied by notes of banana, oak wood, and a hint of ginger. The taste is sweet and rich, starting with a creamy sweetness that gradually transitions to citrus notes, roasted wood aromas, and a slight bitterness, reminiscent of Orange Mocha. The citrus and oak aromas linger through the finish, with a balance of sweetness and a warm mouthfeel.

Kanosuke

Located on the Fukiagehama coast in Kagoshima, Kanosuke Distillery was founded by renowned shochu maker Komasa Jyozo. It is one of the few distilleries in southern Kyushu equipped with three different pot stills, enabling a wide range of whisky styles. The region’s ocean breeze and sunlight lend a mellow, beachy character that contrasts with typical Japanese whiskies.

Since distillation began in 2017, Kanosuke has released single malts featuring notes of vanilla, citrus, and baked sweets, primarily matured in bourbon casks. Led by master blender Kanosuke Komasa, the distillery blends local climate and elegant technique, ushering in a new wave of Japanese whisky innovation.
