Togouchi Blended Japanese Whisky Peated 40%

Togouchi Blended Japanese Whisky Peated 40% is an elegant and lightly smoked Japanese whisky that really stands out in its price range. It’s a unique blend where Japanese craftsmanship, precision and finesse meet a subtle and well-balanced smoke aroma. It’s a whisky that delivers complexity without being heavy – perfect for beginners and experienced whisky lovers alike.

This lightly peated whisky is created with a focus on balance and harmony. The distinctive peat-smoked notes come from aging in bourbon casks that previously held Islay whisky. The result is a refined and subdued smoke that elegantly wraps around the fruity and sweet nuances. The result is an exciting and nuanced whisky with great depth.

The aroma offers fruity notes of black tea, orange peel and a hint of chocolate. The taste is soft and inviting with light smoke, honey and coconut creating a round and pleasant mouthfeel. The finish is beautifully balanced with notes of caramelized sugar, smoked peat and an elegant hint of lavender for a unique and lasting finish.

Togouchi Peated is a great choice for those looking for a different and stylish introduction to smoked whisky. It’s ideal to enjoy neat or with a splash of water, where the delicate nuances really come to the fore.

History of the house

Togouchi is created by the Japanese house of Chugoku Jozo, which dates back to 1918. The house is known for its innovative approach to whisky production and aging. The whisky is matured in a former railroad tunnel where temperature and humidity are stable all year round. This provides optimal conditions for slow and controlled maturation. The result is elegant and well-balanced whiskies with a unique Japanese character.
