Kanosuke’s Double Distillery Blended Malt & Grain Whisky is the result of the combined efforts of two brothers wishing to honor their grandfather, Kanosuke Komasa, with a collaborative whisky blend. Distilled at both the Kanosuke Distillery and nearby Hioki Distillery, this blend of malted and unmalted whiskies produced from 100% barley is carefully crafted to accentuate each of its components and rounds out the core range from Kanosuke.
