      Whisky shaped by shochu heritage, distilled with rare precision in Kagoshima. The Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still is crafted at Hioki Distillery, the grain whisky site of the Kanosuke family, where malted and unmalted Japanese barley is distilled in stainless steel stills under vacuum pressure, an approach more common to shochu than whisky. The result is a light, silky spirit layered with depth from careful maturation.

      The whisky rests in a combination of new American white oak, ex-bourbon, and re-charred ex-shochu casks, imparting balance between sweetness, fruit, and wood-driven structure. Bottled at 51% ABV, it reveals a distinctive flavour profile that is both innovative and deeply rooted in place. This expression shows how Kanosuke’s shochu lineage continues to shape a new generation of Japanese whisky.

      Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Japanese Whisky 700ml
      Kanosuke

      Kanosuke Distillery, established in 2017, has quickly become one of Japan’s most exciting whisky producers. Situated on the coastline of Kagoshima Prefecture, known for its stunning sunsets, Kanosuke’s location offers a unique maritime influence on the whisky maturation process. The distillery is a part of the Komasa Jyozo company, which has a long history of shochu production, and has since expanded to crafting exceptional single malt whiskies under the leadership of Yoshitsugu Komasa. Kanosuke’s distinctive approach includes the use of three different pot stills, each contributing its own character to the whisky. This innovation, combined with the distillery’s commitment to excellence, allows Kanosuke to create complex, yet approachable single malts that reflect the company’s dedication to craftsmanship.
