The Kanosuke distillery, located on one of the most extensive sandy beaches in
Japan, is launching its first regular bottling with the Kanosuke Single Malt.
Since its foundation in 2017 and the commissioning of three differently shaped
stills, the distillery has mainly used American oak barrels, which were
previously used to store shochu, a traditional Japanese high-proof spirit.

The Shizuoka United S is the result of combining selected malt whisky from the
legendary Karuizawa pot still and a wood-fired pot still, which makes it a
particularly fascinating product. This first edition of Shizuoka United S is a
unique and complex whisky that is an exciting discovery for both lovers of
Japanese whiskies and connoisseurs worldwide.



The combination of these two distillation methods gives the whisky a special
depth and complexity that makes it an outstanding representative of modern
Japanese whisky production.
