After six long years, Kanosuke Distillery’s first continuous single malt has arrived! Well worth the wait, this highly anticipated release solidifies the distillery as one of the most exciting producers of Japanese malt whisky today.

Tasting Notes,
Delicate aromas of banana, lemon cake, and Japanese confection precede a rich palate of subtle ginger spice, candied quince, and camp smoke with a finish of salty sea air
