In the past, the Kanosuke Distillery has always focused on non-peated whiskey, but this time the work uses the original liquor distilled from smoked malt as the focus, making the original soft sweetness more complex. When you smell the aroma, the smoky smell immediately rushes to your heart, pour it into the glass, and as time goes by, the smoky smell gradually weakens and turns into an elegant and sweet flavor. The body of the wine shows a moist feeling in the mouth, not like the smoky smell when you first smell the aroma, but in the aftertaste, the elegant toasted and smoky taste buds slowly emerge, bringing a very comfortable ending. This Kinosuke 2023 limited edition retains the soft characteristics of the past, and at the same time it is closer to the sweetness of the Scottish Highlands, and it is also close to the smoky level of Islay whiskey, showing a wonderful balance.
