From the land of the rising sun to us, we present to you a journey through Japan’s whisky landscape, for distiller Kanosuke’s arrival in Australia.

A rising star in the Japanese whisky world, and recent recipient of four gold medals at the Tokyo and International Whisky & Spirits Competitions, the Kagoshima-based Kanosuke Distillery originally began as a shochu distillery known as Komasa Jyozo. The family-run business produced shochu for over 130 years, before expanding into creating distinct, high-quality single malt whiskies.

Using pot stills, a variety of cask types, seasonal maturation and a philosophy of “making whisky in tune with nature”, Kanosuke Distillery’s whiskies reflect both the spirit of tradition and discovery, with a rich complex flavour profile, subtle sweetness and a distinctive smoky character.

Amongst the whiskies on the evening is the Kanosuke Single Cask Whisky Abbey #24270, distilled in 2020 and bottled in 2023 – an exclusive which will only be released on 9th November. Diners will be the first to taste this release.

Join us for an evening of five expressions of Japanese whisky, paired with a shared style menu.
