Kanosuke Double Distillery 2025 Limited Edition Japanese Whisky
Region: Kagoshima, Japan Distillery: Kanosuke Distillery Age: NAS ABV: 59% Cask: re-charred ex-shochu casks, ex-sherry casks Size: 700 ml A limited release of Double Distillery celebrates the Kanosuke’s re-charred ex-shochu casks — a testament to 140 years of family tradition and expertise. This unique blend unites the character of both Kanosuke and Hioki distilleries. Hioki’s pot still whisky and Kanosuke’s single malt are matured in re-charred ex-shochu casks, with a final touch of a small amount of whisky matured in rum casks. The result is a layered, mellow richness with elegant warmth and subtle Japanese spice. An evolution in Japanese whisky, Double Distillery tells the story of two brothers, two distilleries, and one legacy — continuing their grandfather’s pursuit of excellence in cask-aged spirits.
