Togouchi 18 Years Old

The Chugoku Juzo brewery/distillery, established in 1918 in Hiroshima, is known for its production of whisky alongside other beverages. Togouchi whisky, a creation of this distillery, showcases a unique blend of Scottish malt and Canadian grains. While the production takes inspiration from these international influences, the entire process of aging, blending, and bottling is meticulously carried out in Japan, resulting in a whisky with a distinct Japanese essence.

Aged for a remarkable 18 years in oak barrels, this Togouchi whisky unveils a captivating array of aromas and flavors. The intense woody and cereal notes are the hallmark of its long maturation period, providing a rich and robust foundation for the whisky. Complementing these dominant characteristics are delicate hints of peat, adding depth and complexity to the profile.

It's important to note that this particular bottling was produced prior to the implementation of Japanese whisky labeling standards in February 2021. As such, it may not adhere to the specific regulations that now govern the categorization and labeling of Japanese whiskies.

With its intriguing combination of influences and the expertise of the Chugoku Juzo distillery, this Togouchi whisky offers a truly distinctive and memorable drinking experience. The marriage of Scottish malt, Canadian grains, and Japanese craftsmanship creates a harmonious fusion of flavors, showcasing the best of each whisky tradition.
