Togouchi Chugoku Jozo Togouchi Premium Japanese Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Togouchi Blended Japanese whisky is just not very good. There’s not a whole lot going on and what is going on I have no desire to repeat any time soon. The entire essence of this whisky is that of new-make that’s only just touched a barrel. It’s young, it’s harsh it’s light in overall character and the only thing that kept it from being a D is the not-completely-terrible nose. The first whiskies produced in Japan were made along similar lines to Scotch, but over the years the country’s output has evolved to appeal more to its own market by reflecting Japanese tastes. In turn, these unique whiskies have become much sought out around the world. Those various layers continue to play on the palate, with a drizzle of honey sweeting things up and contrasting nicely with some drier spices and toasted oak that linger at the finish. It’s the perfect introduction to the Japanese blender’s art. When it comes to making an authentic Japanese highball, attention to detail is all important: everything needs to be just right. The right glass, the right whisky, the right soda and even the right kind of ice. For the whisky, you can’t go wrong with The Chita from Suntory. It has a range of characteristics you would associate with more expensive Japanese blends, including a floral bouquet, citrus juiciness, ginger and vanilla spice, along with some oak and almond depth. It’s a perfectly decent drop and distinctively Japanese.

At this price, we’ve been unable to afford a bottle, so we’ll rely on tasting notes from The Whisky Exchange instead, who have the honour of selling the whisky, bottled by Elixir Distilleries, and with the beautiful label artwork produced by their creative director, Raj Chavda. On the nose they describe “Rich dried fruit, sweet leather and mushroomy earthiness”, with a palate of, among other things, “chocolate-covered liquorice… spicy leaves… cinnamon heat… pineapple, mango, apple and pear… hints of tar… and brown sugar sweetness.” This cookie is set by Rubicon Project to control synchronization of user identification and exchange of user data between various ad services. Togouchi Blended Japanese whisky is know as the “naturalized Japanese Whisky” because they import already distilled single malt whisky from Scotland and grain whisky from Canada. They then go through an undisclosed process to “naturalize” the whisky so that it can be called Japanese Whisky. Then they make their blends. Amber Beverage UK (ABUK) markets the whiskies on behalf of European distributor, Whiskies du Monde.
