      Born from the quiet innovation of Kagoshima’s coastline, this is whisky with a shochu soul. The Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still 2024 Edition is a limited Japanese release that blurs the line between tradition and invention. Produced at Hioki Distillery, the sister site to Kanosuke, it draws on a heritage of shochu-making to create a grain whisky of striking clarity and depth.

      Crafted from both malted and unmalted barley, the whisky is distilled in rare stainless steel pot stills under vacuum pressure, a method borrowed from shochu that tempers heavier compounds and yields a lighter, silkier spirit. Maturation takes place in a thoughtful mix of new American white oak, ex-bourbon, and re-charred ex-shochu casks, layering subtle sweetness and gentle bitterness in balance. Bottled at 55% ABV and awarded Gold at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards, this release shows why Kanosuke has quickly become one of Japan’s most talked-about producers.

      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.
