めろーこずる かのすけ かすくふぃにっしゅ ／ Mellow Kozuru Kanosuke Cask Finish
Rice shochu
[The ultra-rare malt whisky: Amber-colored rice shochu aged in Kanosuke barrels! ]
In 2017, marking the 60th anniversary of the release of Japan′s first seasonable rice shochu "Merokozuru" in 1957, we launched the malt whiskey Kanosuke Distillery, which uses the technology developed with "Merokozuru" as the backbone.
The product is a seasonable rice shochu made by aging Meroko sake in cans and further ripening it in bourbon cans used to mature whiskey at Kasuke Distillery.
Enjoy the rich, mellow aroma created by the fusion of aging techniques cultivated over 60 years and the knowledge gained from Kanosuke Distillery′s Western liquor structure.
