Long history and exquisite craftsmanship
The owner of KANOSUKE Distillery, Komasa Jozo was one of the first distilleries in Japan to age shochu in whisky oak casks in 1957. To carry on the Japanese shochu craftsmanship and honor his grandfather, Yoshitsugu Komasa built the KANOSUKE Distillery on the beach of the west coast of Kagoshima Prefecture, a beautiful place with the right climate for making whisky.
KANOSUKE Distillery is famous for three distinct pot stills, made by the renowned Miyake, each with a different neck shape and lyne arm angle. A variety of aged barrels including white oak, bourbon, sherry, wine, IPA, mizunara, Madeira, and brandy barrels also help create more layered and delicate aged products.
