The first of a handful of single cask releases by the Kanosuke Distillery for the American Market! This single malt whisky was matured for 45 months in and ex-bourbon barrel before being finished in an IPA cask for 16 months further. The IPA cask is one of Kanosuke's own ex-bourbon barrels given to a Tokushima craft beer brewery called Rise & Win to age one of their IPAs for about 3 months. The result is a masterful combination of flavors and aromas represented by Kanosuke's trademark profile. Big aromatics of fresh hops, rum candies, vanilla, and Japanese cinnamon leap from the glass before the first sip. This is a big lively malt that is as structured as it is dynamic. The citrus-forward hoppiness of bittersweet grapefruit candy is supported by fresh pine, vanilla bean, and delicate cinnamon spice. This whisky is one for the books.
