This 700ml, 59% ABV blended Japanese whisky combines Kanosuke malt whisky with Hioki pot still whisky. The 2025 limited edition puts re-charred shochu casks at the centre of the blend, with fruit, creamy sweetness and Japanese spice in the producer's tasting profile.

Tasting Notes
Adapted from Kanosuke's notes for this specific release:
- Nose: Dried apricot and stewed plum, with custard, caramelised pastry and cinnamon.
- Palate: Ripe pear, apple and white peach mingle with raisins, ginger and a creamy burnt-sugar character.
- Finish: Salted caramel fades slowly into a mature-wood impression.
Shochu Heritage Across Two Distilleries
Released on 25 September 2025, this edition applies re-charred former shochu casks to both malt and pot still components. A key malt first matured in sherry wood before finishing in re-charred shochu casks; rum-cask pot still whisky adds another layer. Here, “shochu” refers to the casks' previous use, not to shochu being added to the whisky.
