This release marks the inaugural core range single malt whisky from Kanosuke Distillery.
“Mellow Land” is crafted using a combination of their three distinct pot stills and matured in re-charred American white oak ex-“Mellowed Kozuru” aged shochu casks. The whisky is carefully blended, with this key malt serving as the foundation before bottling.
Kanosuke Distillery is situated on the coast of Kagoshima, a location renowned for having the most beautiful sunset in Japan. The warm climate, combined with the Kanosuke team’s expertise in maturation, contributes to the creation of a richer, mellower Japanese whisky.
