Tasting Notes

Born from the serene innovation along Kagoshima’s picturesque coastline, this whisky embodies a unique fusion of tradition and modern technique, offering a spirit with a distinct shochu soul.

Produced at the Hioki Distillery, the esteemed sister site to Kanosuke, this limited edition single malt draws deeply on a rich heritage of shochu-making, a traditional Japanese distilled beverage. This heritage imparts a remarkable clarity and depth to the grain whisky, setting it apart from conventional single malts. The whisky is meticulously crafted using a blend of both malted and unmalted barley, enhancing its complexity and texture.

What truly distinguishes this release is its innovative distillation process.

This method results in a spirit that is both strikingly clear and profoundly nuanced, reflecting the pioneering spirit of the Hioki Distillery.

Each sip reveals layers of character that speak to the coastal environment of Kagoshima, where the sea air and volcanic soil influence the grains and the maturation process. The limited edition status of this 2024 release makes it a coveted addition for collectors and connoisseurs alike, encapsulating a moment of innovation within Japan’s evolving whisky landscape.

Experience the bold, refined profile of Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Limited Edition 2024 Single Malt, a whisky that honors tradition while pushing the boundaries of flavor and technique. This bottle is a testament to the artistry and dedication found in Kagoshima’s distilling heritage, perfect for those seeking an exceptional and rare Japanese single malt.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Limited Edition 2024 is a single malt whisky from the Kanosuke Distillery in Hioki, Kagoshima — a 2024 limited annual release bottled at natural cask strength from a selection of pot still single malt casks. Kanosuke Distillery uses three Miyake copper pot stills of different shapes and neck configurations, each of which produces a slightly different spirit profile — from heavier, more textured new-make to lighter, more aromatic distillate. The coastal Kagoshima climate — warm, humid, and influenced by the sea — accelerates maturation and contributes salinity and tropical fruit character. Bottled at 58% ABV without chill-filtration or added colour as a limited annual expression.

Provenance

Kanosuke Distillery was established in 2017 by Komasa Jyozo in Hioki, Kagoshima, on the southern coast of Kyushu island in Japan. Komasa Jyozo has produced shochu in Kagoshima since 1883, and the whisky distillery was founded to honour the memory of the family patriarch, Kanosuke Komasa. The distillery sits along a beachfront on the Kagoshima coast, where the warm, humid climate of Kyushu accelerates cask maturation and lends the whiskies a characteristic salinity and tropical fruit character. The distillery uses three copper pot stills of different shapes and neck inclinations, allowing production of varied spirit profiles. A sister grain distillery, Hioki Distillery, operates nearby.
