About Kanosuke Distillery
Founded in 2018 on Japan’s southwest coastline in Kagoshima, Kanosuke Distillery is known for its elegant, expressive whiskies crafted using a unique triple pot still distillation process. Drawing inspiration from the region’s warm climate and rich distilling heritage, Kanosuke produces award-winning single malts and limited editions that showcase the depth and nuance of Japanese whisky.
Named after the second generation leader of the company, Kanosuke Komasa, the two-story distillery overlooks Fukiagehama Beach and features 3 unique pot stills, compared to the typical 2 pot stills found in other small distilleries. Each of the three pot stills has a different neck shape and lyne arm angle which yields uniquely flavorful distillates to create the Kanosuke profile.
