Togouchi: an innovative Japanese whisky at the heart of tradition

Since its beginnings in 1990, Togouchi has established itself as a major reference in Japanese whisky , the fruit of the expertise of the Chugoku Jozo company, founded in 1918 near Hiroshima. Initially specializing in the production of sake and shochu, the producer decided to expand its range with exceptional whiskies, skillfully blending tradition and modernity. Togouchi whisky is distinguished by its complex blend, combining malted and unmalted barley whiskies, aged mainly in first and second fill bourbon casks. These combinations of varied ages and precise dosages allow the whisky to develop rich and nuanced aromas, where fruity, floral, spicy, pastry , but also smoky and gourmet notes mingle. The range includes blended whiskies and single malts that benefit from original refinements, notably using old sherry casks or barrels that have contained sake, IPA beer, or even peated whisky. These innovative choices enrich the aromatic palette and give a unique character to each Togouchi expression. Aged in underground tunnels, Togouchi whiskies develop a smooth texture and balanced flavors dominated by notes of vanilla and ripe fruits . The brand has gained popularity thanks to its distinctive aromatic profile and elegant design. Among the flagship references are the Togouchi Premium , the Togouchi Kiwami and the Togouchi 15 years old , which appeal to amateurs around the world.
