Togouchi Chugoku Jozo Togouchi Premium Japanese Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Much like traditional whisky producing nations Scotland, Ireland and America it has built a history that includes celebrated producers, big businesses, cheap imitators and distillery closures, and it has expanded to produce a wide range of styles. Togouchi Blended Japanese whisky is know as the “naturalized Japanese Whisky” because they import already distilled single malt whisky from Scotland and grain whisky from Canada. They then go through an undisclosed process to “naturalize” the whisky so that it can be called Japanese Whisky. Then they make their blends. Japanese whisky tends to be a bit more expensive than whisky from elsewhere in the world, so finding a bottle on a budget isn’t easy. Nikka Days is a good choice if you want to try out a Japanese whisky without breaking the bank, with its bright and cheerful character typical of the country’s output.

If you want to get your hands on an archetypical Japanese blended whisky then Suntory’s Hibiki is well worth investigating. It contains whisky from three of Suntory’s distilleries – malt from Yamazaki and Hakushu, and grain whisky from Chita. The Togouchi brand includes four expressions that are new to the UK: Togouchi Beer Cask (40% ABV), Togouchi Sake Cask (40% ABV), Togouchi Pure Malt (40% ABV) and Togouchi Single Malt (43% ABV).

If you are a fan of japanese whisky you may have already heard of the mysterious Togouchi, a blend from Japan available in 12 and 18 year old, and there isn't much more information about it. But why is it a naturalized whisky? The expression join three existing whiskies available in the UK: Togouchi Premium (40% ABV), Togouchi 9 Year Old (40% ABV) and Togouchi 15 Year Old (43.8%). Les whiskies Togouchi revendiquent un ancrage géographique unique entre terre et mer, de la mer intérieure de Seto où les liquides sont distillés jusqu’au pied de la montagne Osorakan, dans la petite ville d’Akiota-Togouchi où les fûts viennent ensuite rejoindre leurs chais souterrains. Façonnés puis surveillés de près par une équipe d’artisans locaux au sein de la distillerie Sakurao, ces whiskies japonais capturent plusieurs décennies d’un savoir-faire et d’une passion transmis en héritage au sein d’une bouteille devenue iconique. Grain, vanilla, spirit, honey, apple, and a bit of spice. It’s flat and uninteresting, but at least it’s not completely offensive.
