Find out by watching the definitive guide to one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2022 - the third general release single malt from the Kanosuke Distillery, released on 24 June 2022.

I lost it at the palate training clip 😂😂😂
I've always loved a good callback!
He’s back! Feels like it’s been forever. Can’t wait to get my hands on a bottle of this - looks and sounds delicious! Great video as always, Mac. Thanks for continuing to put out awesome content!
I am flattered that 2 weeks feel like forever! Glad you enjoyed the video, and hope you can get a bottle of this soon!
I love your information overdosed videos Mac. I must call my friend in Kagoshima now 😀
Make that call! 📞🤓🥃
Loving that sand, sea, sun connection 👌 sound as always Mac
Sand, sea, and s--sunset!
Another great review... and I was so relieved when you said the 2021 First Edition was still your favourite!
All three have been good, as a a First Edition fan I think you'll really like this one too!
@@KanpaiPlanet Unfortunately, having overspent so much on the First Edition, I don't think I'll be able to afford any more for a while (until/unless Diageo arrange decent distribution here, of course). Maybe I'll find some in a bar...
I am hoping for the sake of international Kanpai Planet fans that there is a plan in place to distribute any flagship core releases. We'll find out in a few months I think!
Great review as usual, Mac, and impressive awards for this distillery already ! Very curious of an international core range release hopefully to come here soon. Kanpaï !
Kanosuke really have done well in a short amount of time! Thanks for watching and commenting. Kanpai!
The label reminds me of a cigarette label when they use the white part for the health warning. It the contents sounds absolutely lovely. I am a big fan of the Japanese whisky. Seems that this one is well priced. Cheers Mac. Nice video. Love the editing
I didn't make that connection! Hope you get to try this one my friend. It's a nice one for sure! Kanpai!
Mac, while your focus is on whisky. It's nice to see some amazing rums at the back bar.
I need to review some of Japan's rums soon John!
@@KanpaiPlanet any honest rum will do! But for Japanese see Nine Leaves
Got keep the 'Japan's drinks' theme of the channel. I love some of what Nine Leaves are doing. Great ethos too.
Great review as always!
Thanks for watching! Kanpai!
Good work Mac, ahead of the curve as usual!
We try mate. We try.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing! Very detailed and great presentation style. Going for more.
Thank you! Enjoy the back catalogue. Lots more like this!
Konichiwa Mac ) good review .Cheers !
Awesome as always. Love seeing what Kanosuke are doing
Thanks Ben. They are one I intend to continue to keep track of. Really great pedigree down there.
Hey Mac you are truly Japanese whiskey ambassador 👌😀… loved the review
Thanks for watching sir! Kanpai 🥃🥃🥃
Thanks for yet another great review, Mac: energetic, enjoyable and informative.
Slàint mhath / Kanpai.
Thanks always Peathead!
Just opened mine, it’s really nice if sherry’s your thing.
It's interesting that the sherry dominates despite only being used in 30% (my estimate, but I think I'm abour right) of the total liquid! Enjoy, and Kanpai!
I can’t believe it but Mac has done it again. The amount of information packed into this video is astounding! Well done again, Mac! And your videos are always funny too. 👍😆👍
Thanks so much Pierre. I truly appreciate you watching and your comments. They mean a lot.

Is this the review to launch 10,000 bottles? I think so! They could have called it “Helen”.
Most excellent work, Sir!
As a former classics scholar, I highly endorse this comment. Kanpai! 🥃🥃🥃
@@KanpaiPlanet “the salty character amplifies into the finish and that sweet spice yin yang ebbs and flows…
And it’s absolutely delightful.
Worthy of Kit Marlowe himself!

I was very lucky to try this with my Japanese family friend (he said he had to win one in an online ballot to purchase) and it was supremely good! Having had a few drams and feeling like I would never own a bottle, one sole bottle, all alone, was staring at me in a Haneda airport duty free shop, I picked up the bottle and quickly went to purchase it for about 12000 yen. I think its the best Japanese whiskey I've ever drunk and purchased. (I love sherry cask!) Very pleased and shocked when I checked locally that they're trying to sell one for $600!
Good pick at Haneda - you even managed to avoid the 10% consumption tax!
And yes, the new world order is entering lotteries to win the right to pay full RRP to purchase bottles. What an age we live in!
A great review. Looking forward to this coming overseas soon 🤞🏻
Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you are able to try it soon.
Yeah, bought myself a bottle 🙏🙏 Don't know when to open it. maybe next month when i turn 50 😉🤭 Thanks for epic video. Kanpai 🥃
お誕生日おめでとうございます‼️Let me know what you think of the dram. Kanpai!
@@KanpaiPlanet thank you for your reply. Will do. Greetings from The Netherlands
Good morning from Tokyo!
Finally found a bottle of this in the states, but it was just under $200. It sounds great, but I can't justify that much for it.
Overseas pricing of J-Whisky means a lot of people cannot try these bottles. Very frustrating.
@@KanpaiPlanet It's all good, I'll just try some at the Aloha Whisky Bar 😉
That is always the best approach! Kanpai! 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
Excited to find your channel. “Liked subscribed and hit the bell.” I’m a whiskey (mostly scotch) drinker and I just moved to Okinawa in June. The only Japanese Whiskey I have tried is Fuji-Sanroku Signature Blend. I look forward to the rabbit hole of your videos I will soon be watching. I am open for recommendations.. My favorite go to Scotches are Oban and Balvenie Double Wood. I have a whiskey shop down the street and I’ve been a bit trigger shy
Thank you! You are very welcome on Kanpai Planet. We have drinks!
Speaking of Oban, watch this one next: ua-cam.com/video/PiYRt9JPR0Q/v-deo.html

Kanpai!
@@KanpaiPlanet you didn’t supply a link for the “watch this one next” but I’m fairly sure you are referring to the “Yoichi.” I picked up the Fuji single grain, Miyagikyo and a Suntori Toki (going to exchange it for another Fuji single grain tomorrow lol) that was a mindless decision. The single grain was a bit more “bourbony” than I usually go for but man oh man, it was nice and I’d like a double.
I was indeed referring to the Yoichi vs Miyagikyo video! Really glad you enjoyed Fuji Single Grain! I'll be reviewing Fuji Single Blended soon on Kanpai Planet!
@@KanpaiPlanet I just saw that in the store in the same slot as the single grain. I almost exchanged my Santori Toki for the single blended but I went for the backup bottle of Fuji single grain instead. Looking forward to your thoughts on the blended
I will hopefully get round to it soon! Kanpai!
The 2021 release is available in the U.K. for £695!!!!
Price gouging if ever I saw it.
Is that in the primary or secondary market?
@@KanpaiPlanet primary - a specialist whisky retailer.
I see a lot of overseas distirbutors - the US, Hong Kong, Europe and beyond - adding huge markups to products. I truly wish it didn't happen.
@@KanpaiPlanet I guess they reckon that there's such demand for Japanese whisky, and since they're probably not getting hwayps of it, that they can charge whatever they like and some sucker will still buy it. It's disgusting, really.
I’m not sure if I missed it in any of your Kanosuke videos but are they in JSLMA?
They are, as are Komasa Jyozo.

Kanpai!
I found Kanosuke HK sherry. But price is high around 57,000yen. I do not know, it is worth it?
Value is in the eye of the beholder. I know people who have paid pricing along those lines in the US or the UK or Hong Kong and they have really enjoyed it because they love the taste, and see value in owning this bottle from this particular distillery. In my videos I always judge things relative to the Japanese recommended retail price, allowing viewers to decide whether any premium to that is within their budget.

In my experience, whenever the distillery talks about Re-Charred casks, even American Oak, this process of Shaving back, preparing the cask for charring by either steaming or/and toasting and only then re-charring, often is completed by a process of seasoning is Sherry.
Lagavulin for instance, uses what they describe as Re-Charred American Oak casks, but neglect to tell you (unless you ask) that these casks are then seasoned with fresh sherry in Scotland. Kanosuke could be doing the same thing. After all, a genuine Spanish Sherry cask casks 5 times that of a standard American Oak Barrell.
Strangely enough, despite seasoning in Sherry, these casks are still termed Ex-Bourbon casks or Re-Charred American Oak casks, despite the fact that or all intents and purposes, these are FRESH FIRST-FILL Sherry casks!
Therefore, it could well be that this expression is not 100% Ex-Sherry cask matured but is 100% Sherry influenced.
This is absolutely not the case here. Neither Kanosuke nor Ariake Sangyo are seasoning their recharred ex-shochu casks.
