Kanosuke 2023 Limited Edition Cask Strength, 59%

Peated whisky made from barley from the 2018–2019 harvest, this was matured in sherry and re-charred American white oak shochu casks. The smoke rises from the glass immediately, delivering fresh peaty smoke aromas, with notes of rolling tobacco, ground cumin, pear, white grape, honeydew, and star fruit. It’s complex and honeyed, with pear, star fruit, chocolate, vanilla essence, savory notes, and peat smoke lurking at the back of the throat on the finish.
