Japan Airlines (JAL) is now selling the ‘THE STORY OF KANOSUKE’ JAL Limited Edition from the Koshino Kajiro Distillery.
Founded in 1883, Komasa Jyozo opened the distillery along the Hioki City’s Fukiagehama coast in 2017, which applies the techniques of Kagoshima’s authentic shochu, including fermentation, distillation, aging, and blending, to produce whiskey. JAL aims to sell ‘Japanese Craft Whiskey’ made in small distilleries scattered around Japan, providing an opportunity for people to visit various regions.
The set includes two bottles: the second-generation Kajiro’s globally-challenged ‘Mellow Kozuru Excellence’ rice shochu, and the fourth-generation Yoshihisa’s ‘Single Malt Kajiro THE STORY OF KANOSUKE’ aged for 5 years ready to present to the world, along with a tasting glass.
This will be sold as a limited edition of 488 sets, available through an ‘Advance Reservation Service’ for in-flight international sales and a lottery sale targeting members of the JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) in Japan.
The ‘Advance Reservation Service’ accepts reservations from JMB Diamond and JGC Premier members who are utilizing Japan departure flights from April 1 to May 31.
The lottery sale will take place from April 1 to May 31, targeting JMB members in Japan who have traveled on JAL’s domestic and international flights. The application period is from March 25 to May 31.
