Kanosuke Mellow Single Malt Japanese Whisky
Product Description Kanosuke Mellow Single Malt Japanese Whisky is a masterful blend that marks the debut of the Kanosuke Distillery’s core range. Crafted with the utmost care, this whisky showcases the innovative spirit of the distillery, situated along the scenic coast of Kagoshima.

The result is a beautifully mellow whisky with a uniquely Japanese character, offering a harmonious balance of bold yet smooth flavors. With a rich amber hue, the whisky envelops the senses in ripe citrus, honey, and caramel aromas, leading to a delightful tasting experience with ginger, honey, and lightly smoked nuts. Its sweet aroma and gently bitter finish linger, leaving an impression of refinement and elegance.
