Description
Kanosuke 3 Years Old 2019 is a single malt distilled at Kanosuke in 2019 and bottled in 2022 at cask strength, released for events rather than general retail. The expression comes from Kanosuke's Kagoshima distillery, where Komasa opened three pot stills on the coastal site in 2017, drawing on decades of experience in shochu production to inform the approach to fermentation and distillation.
Matured in Ex-Bourbon casks over three years in Kagoshima's warm, humid climate, the spirit carries the light tropical fruit and vanilla softness that is characteristic of the distillery's bourbon-matured releases. The event channel means limited availability, and no specific tasting data was provided for this batch, but the Ex-Bourbon maturation and the short but active southern Japanese ageing period are consistent with the broader Kanosuke house style: clean, fruity and gently sweet. Bottled at 50% cask strength.
