🥃 About Kanosuke Distillery

Fourth-generation master distiller Yoshitsugu inherited his grandfather's dream and passion for shochu, but recognised that whisky held the potential to share Kagoshima's distinctive culture with the world. After visiting distilleries across multiple regions, he founded Kanosuke Distillery in 2017 on land passed down from his grandfather, naming it in his honor. This marked a pivotal step in fulfilling a dream that transcended generations. Today, the distillery blends nearly 140 years of Komasa family craftsmanship with a forward-looking spirit of innovation, creating elegant whiskies celebrated both in Japan and internationally.
