Kanosuke Double Distilleries Blended Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml 53%

Kanosuke Double Distilleries is a blended whisky made at two seperate distilleries, Hioki and Kanosuke, both of which are owned by the same family on the south-westeren coast of Japan's bottom island, Kyushu.

The blend consists of pot still whisky produced at Hioki and single malt whisky produced at Kanosuke, with both being matured at Kanosuke. Meticulously blended together to showcase the distinctive characters of both distilleries.

While Hioki is infamous for their range of Shochu, they now produce a range of different products such as Gin and both Grain and Malt whisky and are currently on their 4th generation of ownership in the Komasa family.
