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.

At Kanosuke Distillery, the philosophy is rooted in innovation, tradition, and respect for nature. Drawing from the expertise of the Komasa Jyozo company in shochu production, the distillery blends centuries-old techniques with modern craftsmanship to produce whisky that embodies the best of both worlds. Kanosuke believes that whisky making is an art that requires a delicate balance of science and intuition. The distillery’s use of three distinct pot stills, along with its commitment to the finest casks for maturation, results in a whisky that offers complexity, subtlety, and harmony. The coastal climate of Kagoshima, combined with the team’s rigorous attention to detail, creates a whisky that reflects the environment while upholding the highest standards of Japanese whisky making.
