The whisky is built from spirit distilled through Kanosuke’s three pot stills and matured across several cask types, including ex-shochu, sherry, bourbon and red wine casks. For the 2026 release, bourbon-cask matured whisky finished in apple brandy casks and ex-shochu re-charred cask whisky finished in white wine casks form important components of the vatting. Sherry-cask whisky adds further richness and complexity, while a small amount of peated whisky brings additional definition. The result is deliberately fresh and floral, with a distinctly Japanese balance of delicacy, sweetness and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKanosuke also applies its slow-dilution technique to the 2026 Limited Edition, allowing the whisky and water to integrate gradually and helping create a rounder texture at its bottling strength of 57% ABV. Orange blossom, apple peel, white grape and beach vitex shape the aromatic profile, followed by vanilla, honey, yuzu paste and apple brandy on the palate. The contrasting apple brandy and white wine finishes bring brightness and fruit character without overwhelming the underlying Kanosuke house style. A touch of peat sits in the background rather than dominating the whisky, while citrus freshness keeps the rich sweetness in balance. The finish carries grapefruit, apple peel and a gentle saline quality evocative of the sea breeze beside the distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh, floral and fruit-driven\u003cbr\u003eOrange blossom, apple peel, white grape and beach vitex with delicate honeyed and coastal nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rounded, sweet and vibrant\u003cbr\u003eVanilla, yuzu paste, honey and apple brandy combine with fresh citrus, gentle fruit sweetness and subtle underlying smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, refreshing and gently maritime\u003cbr\u003eGrapefruit and apple peel linger alongside a soft sea-breeze character, delicate bitterness and restrained smoky depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Kanosuke\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Single Malt Whisky\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Japan\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Kagoshima\u003cbr\u003eABV - 57%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 700ml\u003cbr\u003eCask Strength - No\u003cbr\u003eCask Finish - Apple Brandy, White Wine\u003cbr\u003ePeat Level - Lightly Peated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kanosuke Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586648240215,"sku":"KANO-SM-26","price":269.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/b940719f-022f-4739-a936-e687552543d8.webp?v=1793319266","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/kanosuke-single-malt-japanese-whisky-700ml-2026-release","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
