Kanosuke Double Distillery Blended Whisky Blended Japanese Whisky

Elena Vasquez — Kanosuke keeps impressing me

9/10

I've been following Kanosuke since their early releases and this blended expression is fantastic. Rich caramel and dried apricot on the nose, then white pepper and citrus peel that lingers. The 53% ABV gives it real presence without being harsh. One of my favourite pours this year.

Celeste Moreno — Nice sipper, nothing crazy

7/10

Had this at a tasting night and thought it was pleasant enough. Sweet malt and a hint of coconut, finishes a bit short for my taste. I prefer their single cask stuff honestly, but on the rocks after dinner this does the job fine.

Yasmine Najjar — Good but pricey for what it is

7/10

Nose is all honey and stone fruit, which I really enjoyed neat. The palate has some nice spice and malt character at cask strength. At nearly a hundred quid though, I think you can find similar quality Japanese whisky for less. Solid but not a repeat purchase for me.

Kwame Mensah — Great with a splash of water

8/10

Bought this on a whim and I'm glad I did. Straight from the bottle it's quite hot at 53%, but add a teaspoon of water and you get waves of orchard fruit, toffee, and gentle smoke. The £99 price tag stung a bit but the complexity justifies it. Would recommend sharing with mates who think Japanese whisky is all Hibiki and Yamazaki.

Jackson Wu — Punches well above blends

8/10

For a blended Japanese whisky this drinks more like a single malt. At 53% it opens up beautifully with a few drops of water — tropical fruit, a bit of vanilla, and this lovely dry oak finish. I'd buy another bottle if I found one.
