Utilising a trio of bespoke pot-stills (each configured with a different neck shape and lyne arm angle), Kanosuke's malts have already become renowned for their remarkable smoothness and spicy impact. The new release '100% non-peated malt' was distilled between 2017 and 2019, and was bottled for release in June 2022 at cask strength. It's Kanosuke's third Limited Edition release single malt, and unlike last year's two releases, this year's blend has seen the distillery utilise a much higher proportion of Sherry casks, estimated to be approximately 30%. The remainder was drawn from mellow ex-Shochu barrels with a smaller proportion of ex-Bourbon casks. Distinct Sherry notes are prevalent on the nose in the sweet impact of cinnamon, honey, plum and candy floss. On the palate, it is a bold and forward dram with a kick of hot and sweet spice. The lively entry is backed up by a complex yet balanced array of caramel, toffee and coffee, tapering out with sea spray freshness. Like all Kanosuke's Whiskies, you'd be hard-pressed to pin this down as relatively young - it is a beautifully rounded and integrated spirit. ABV 59%.
