Togouchi 9YO

The Sakurao Distillery was founded in 2017, near the Seto inland sea. It relies on more than a century of expertise gained by producing traditional Japanese spirits. Sakurao is now part of a very limited group of Japanese distilleries able to produce 100% Japanese whiskies as all the malt and grain whiskies used in their blends, is distilled through its stills. Nestled in the heart of the Hiroshima region, Sakurao Distillery relies on the unfailing expertise of its craftsmen and its cutting-edge technology to bring the world the authentic Japanese whiskies in the Togouchi collection.

Togouchi 9 Year is a blend of malt and grain whiskies that have been aged for at least nine years. This Japanese whisky aged in oak casks contains around 40% malted barley.

The nosing is extremely intense and dominated by fruity aromas and sweet spices. On the palate, the Togouchi 9 YO is mild and dry with accents of lemons, oranges and spices. The aftertaste is pleasantly long and presents the predominant notes and complements them with a little peat smoke.
