Description

Togouchi Aged 15 Years Japanese Blended Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml          ABV: 43.8%          Age: 15 Years Old         Country: Japan

Togouchi 15 Year old is the newest expression of the blending expertise of Sakurao Brewery & Distillery, formerly Chugoku Jozo.

Togouchi whiskies are specific in that they are only aged, blended, diluted in Japan and highlight the work of blending for the future productions of the Sakurao distillery. The aging of whisky casks imported from Scotland and Canada takes place in a unique site: a tunnel 361m long and dug in 1970 offering ideal conditions for maturation (constant temperature of 14°C and humidity of 80%). Part of their Japanese character is transmitted by the terroir through the spring water used for the reduction of the alcoholic volume which is drawn from the heart of the preserved mountains of the Sandankyo natural park.
