In advance of Kyoto Whisky Party 2019, which will be held next year on April 14th, we are seeking everyone’s support through crowdfunding.
As a benefit of becoming a “Kaisai Supporter”, you will have the privilege of hand-filling your own bottle of Kanosuke Distillery’s NEW POT directly from the bourbon and sherry casks, produced by Kyoto’s famous barrel-makers Ariake Sangyo. Of course, you can then take your bottle home! ※Pour the whisky from the cask by yourself, label it, and create your own original bottle.
Please take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity. (Quantities are limited.)

Quality Report for NEWBORN, available for pre-sale at Kanosuke Distillery Shop on November 10th.

We checked the current maturation status and flavor of the non-peat whisky which was barreled in re-charred white oak casks in February 2018.
Feeling like New Pot, with a sweet and sour aroma like ripe berries that is wrapped in the fragrance of the wooden barrel, it seems like it has been aging for longer than only 8 months. The flavor, which spreads in your mouth and is pleasantly oily, has its sweetness emphasized when a small amount of water is added, and this softness also contrasts its young age. The 6 barrels which were selected this time will be extracted in late October, and bottled for pre-sale at the Kanosuke Distillery Shop (on-site and online) in early November.

Komasa Jyozo will hold an event to commemorate the 1st anniversary of our whisky operations at Kanosuke Distillery!
There will be plenty of food and drink stalls, as well as musical entertainment.
How about spending the weekend visiting Kagoshima’s two whisky distillery festivals?
Kanosuke Distillery’s will be on Saturday, Nov. 10, while Hombo Shuzo Mars Tsunuki Distillery’s will be on Sunday, Nov. 11.
Let’s all have a great time together!

Approximately 1,800 people attended Whisky Talk Fukuoka on June 17th, which exceeded all expectations. It was so crowded from beginning until end that it was difficult to even walk! At the Kanosuke Distillery booth, we were able to provide tastings our company’s products to many guests, including three varieties of New Pot and a 4-month-aged New Born. New Pot and New Born were both well-received, and we also heard that many people are interested in coming for a tour, since we are so close to Fukuoka. Thank you very much.
