Kanosuke "Double Distillery" Blended Japanese Whisky (700ml)

Notes

Kanosuke's Double Distillery Blended Malt & Grain Whisky is the result of the combined efforts of two brothers wishing to honor their grandfather, Kanosuke Komasa, with a collaborative whisky blend. Distilled at both the Kanosuke Distillery and nearby Hioki Distillery, this blend of malted and unmalted whiskies produced from 100% barley is carefully crafted to accentuate each of its components and rounds out the core range from Kanosuke. Using lightly peated single malt distilled on the three copper pots at Kanosuke Distillery combined of unpeated malted and unmalted barley distilled, "Irish Style" pot still whisky at Hioki Distillery, they've created the perfect marriage of modern and traditional. Aged in a combination of new American oak, re-charred Mellowed Kozuru rice shochu American oak casks, sherry casks, and ex-bourbon casks in the humid hot Kagoshima climate. No added coloring, non-chill filtered; 53% ABV. Tasting notes from the distiller, "A floral nose of summer melon, stone fruit, and lemongrass transitions to a rich, complex palate that leans into deep, bittersweet notes of black tea, orange peel, and raspberry."
