Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Japanese Whisky
Special features: This innovative Japanese whisky is distilled at the Hioki Distillery using unmalted and malted barley.

After distillation, the whisky matures in new American white oak barrels and former bourbon barrels, giving it depth and complexity. This combination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and Western influences makes the Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still a unique experience for whisky lovers.

Finish: Vanilla, dry ginger, cinnamon, and a gentle sweetness that lingers.
