Kanosuke, Single Malt Whisky, Japan (48%)

From one of Japan’s most compelling young distilleries, Kanosuke’s flagship Single Malt offers a quietly distinctive sense of place. The nose is gently expressive, with notes of ripe banana, lemon sponge and delicate Japanese confectionery. On the palate, a soft richness emerges, bringing candied quince, warming ginger spice and a wisp of camp smoke. The finish is poised and evocative, carrying a subtle salinity reminiscent of coastal air. A beautifully balanced whisky, reflecting both thoughtful craftsmanship and its maritime surroundings.
