Togouchi 9yo Japanese Blended

Togouchi 9 Year Old is a blended whiskey bottled in the Hiroshima area by Sakurao Brewery and Distillery, formerly Chugoku Jozo. Its relatively intense aroma, dispersing the smell of yellow fruits and sweet spices, is found in the mouth with the appearance of fruity flavors of citrus fruits.

Part of the Japanese character is conveyed by the terroir through the spring water used to reduce the alcohol, which is drawn from the heart of the preserved mountains of the Sandankyo Nature Park.

Master Blender offers a more "malted" version with almost 40% malted barley that reveals more body and deeper character than its little brother Kiwami.

Togouchi whiskeys are specific in that they are only matured, blended, diluted in Japan and highlight the blending work for future Sakurao distillery productions. The aging of whiskey barrels imported from Scotland and Canada takes place in a unique place: in a 361 m long tunnel dug in 1970, which offers ideal conditions for aging (constant temperature of 14°C and humidity of 80%).

Nose: sweet apricot and plum tones with a hint of baking spices.

Palate: notes of lemon and orange peel develop with a hint of peat smoke underneath.

Finish: anise, cardamom and caramel.
