Kanosuke Sherry Cask Vatted Single Malt Japanese Whisky

The Whisky: This limited edition Single Malt showcases Kanosuke’s signature finesse through a masterful marriage of Oloroso and Cream sherry casks, integrated with spirits aged in ex-shochu, bourbon, and red wine barrels. The inclusion of new American white oak introduces a vibrant brightness, while the shochu cask influence provides a delicate Japanese "wa" spice to the distillery’s characteristically mellow profile. The experience opens with an elegant bouquet of dark cherry and fruit pound cake, transitioning into a lush palate of tropical mangosteen before settling into a serene, coastal-inspired finish.

Flavour Profile: Glistening with a reddish amber depth, this expression opens with an alluring bouquet of dark cherry and vanilla, accented by the distinct warmth of Nikki (Japanese cinnamon) and tart raspberry. The palate is rich and indulgent, featuring soft raisins, dark chocolate, and cloves layered into a decadent fruit pound cake profile. The experience concludes with a long, sophisticated finish defined by the lush sweetness of tropical mangosteen and a refined, oaky dryness that lingers gracefully.
