  Togouchi 12 year old Japanese Blended Whisky Japan 40%

  Item no.: 22227865403-323

  The same abandoned railway tunnel beneath Hiroshima that gives Togouchi's older releases their calm also lays the foundation for this 12 year old.

  Expert Description

  Togouchi 12 Year Old is a Japanese Blended Whisky, bottled at 40%.

  The whisky comes from Sakurao Brewery and Distillery, which has developed the Togouchi brand since 1990. Like the other Togouchi releases, part of the whisky matures in an old railway tunnel with constant temperature and humidity, giving a softer, more rounded character than ordinary warehouse ageing.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Apple and light honey with a delicate, floral aroma.

  Palate

  Soft and round with caramel and a fine, mild spice.

  Finish

  Short to medium, soft and clean.

  Togouchi 18 Year old Japanese Blended Whisky 72 cl. Japan 43%

  Item no.: 22227865403-304

  361 metres beneath the streets of Hiroshima lies an old railway tunnel where Togouchi lets its whisky sleep in constant cold and darkness until it's ready.

  Expert Description

  Togouchi 18 Year Old is a Japanese Blended Whisky, bottled at 43.8%.

  The whisky comes from Sakurao Brewery and Distillery (formerly Chugoku Jozo), which has blended and matured whisky under the Togouchi name since 1990. What sets Togouchi apart is its ageing: part of the whisky matures in an abandoned railway tunnel with a constant temperature of 14°C and 80% humidity - conditions that produce an unusually soft, rounded maturation.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Honey and ripe pears with a light smoky aroma and a touch of old oak.

  Palate

  Soft and full-bodied with caramel, dried fruit and a fine, rounded spice.

  Finish

  Long and soft, with a last note of honey.

  Investment Potential

  Medium. Togouchi's older age-stated releases are made in limited quantities and are already harder to find than the younger core range.

  Did You Know?

  The railway tunnel where Togouchi ages its whisky was originally bored in 1970 by the Japanese railway company and stood empty for decades before Togouchi discovered its constant conditions were perfect for maturing whisky and shochu.

  The water running through Togouchi has filtered through the Chugoku mountains' granite for millennia, and that purity comes through in the glass.

  Expert Description

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Light honey, flowers and a fresh touch of oak.

  Palate

  Soft and round with vanilla and mild sweetness.

  Finish

  Short and clean with a hint of spice.
