Togouchi Premium

Created by Sakurao Brewery & Distillery, formerly Chugoku Jozo. Chugoku Jozo age much of its Togouchi whisky in an old abandoned railroad tunnel below the streets of Hiroshima. The warm winds from the Seto Inland Sea and the cold winds from the mountains cause a large temperature difference throughout the year resulting in rapid maturation of barrels in the Sakurao warehouse. The Togouchi warehouse utilizes an old railway tunnel that maintains cool temperatures regardless of the season, allowing the whisky to slowly mature over time.

Aged in oak barrels in a tunnel dug in the heart of the mountainous region of Nishi Chugoku Sanchi, the Togouchi Premium offers a thin and light texture, ideal to start discovering Japanese whisky.

Made from Scotch malt whisky and Canadian grain whisky, but matured and vatted in Japan by Japanese blenders, the very first identified flavors are very sweet with a dominant of coconut and hints of caramel and exotic fruits.
