Description
The Togouchi Single Malt Japanese Whisky is a fascinating bottling from Chugoku Jozo, a Japanese producer known for its exceptional ageing methods and the marriage of tradition and innovation. Unlike many other Togouchi bottlings, which often appear as blends, this is a true single malt, made entirely from malted barley and distilled and matured in Japan.
Its maturation location gives this whisky a special aura: the casks are stored in an old railway tunnel near Hiroshima, where constant temperatures and high humidity create a particularly even and controlled maturing climate. These conditions ensure a harmonious, gentle yet expressive flavour profile, which is characterised by fine woody notes and fruity nuances.
Bottled at 43% alcohol by volume and presented in a stylish gift box, the Togouchi single malt is an exciting expression of Japanese whisky craftsmanship for both connoisseurs of Japanese whiskies and curious newcomers.
