Kanosuke New Born 12 months old

After unveiling a new pot, an 8-month new born, Kanosuke Distillery presents a taste of its single malt in the making with the 12-month New Born.

Aged in American white oak casks for one year, this new born was distilled at the Kanosuke distillery located in Kagoshima prefecture along the longest sandy beach in Japan: Fukiagehama. The mild winter and hot summer climate allows for an accelerated maturation process that is fully expressed in this young spirit with a rich and complex aromatic profile.

On the nose, Kanosuke New Born 12 months reveals very fruity notes of tropical fruits, with vanilla notes that are joined on the palate by malty and peppery aromas, all wrapped in a creamy texture. In the finish, notes of caramel, hazelnut and ginger make a small appearance among the still very fruity notes present until the end.
