【Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Whisky】
Hioki Distillery has been in operation since 1883, renowned for its shochu production. In 2018, they expanded into gin, and by 2020, they started producing grain whisky.
The Hioki Pot Still whisky, although labeled under Kanosuke, is actually distilled at Hioki Distillery and then matured at Kanosuke. This is the brand's first Pot Still Whisky. Despite being classified as a grain whisky, it is made from unmalted and malted barley. Aged in American White Oak previously used for shochu and Bourbon Barrels. The subtropical climate of Kagoshima allows this whisky to develop rich aromas in just a few years.
On the nose, it offers creamy notes, apple pie, and ripe fruits like guava and banana. The palate explodes with creamy and marmalade sweetness, then it gives a long finish with citrus and ginger notes.

【嘉之助 Hioki Pot Still Whisky】
日置蒸溜藏自 1883 年開始運作,一直以製作燒酎聞名。更於 2018 年開始製作氈酒,而 2020 年則開始製作穀物威士忌。
這款 Hioki Pot Still 雖於酒標上標示著嘉之助,但實際上是在日置蒸溜藏蒸餾後轉到嘉之助熟成,是品牌的首款 Pot Still Whisky。而分類雖為穀物威士忌,但僅使用未發芽的大麥和麥芽為原料,再以波本桶和曾用於燒酎的 American White Oak 作熟成。加上鹿兒島的亞熱帶氣候,只需短短數年便能釀造出香這款氣濃郁的威士忌。
聞香帶有忌廉、蘋果批、熟果香如番石榴和香蕉等香氣,入口時有忌廉和香橙果醬的甜味爆發,轉而為悠長的柑橘香和薑味餘韻。
