Togouchi is a special player in the Japanese whisky market. Firstly because the whiskies that make up the range are a blend of Scottish malt whiskies and grain whiskies from Canada.
They are then blended in Japan and aged in an old railway tunnel where the constant temperature of 14°C allows an ideal maturation. This tunnel is located in the city of Togouchi, near Hiroshima, which is obviously where the name of these original whiskies comes from.
With the creation of the Sakurao distillery in 2018, the company shows his ambition to gradually replace imported casks by locally distilled whiskies and make Togouchi whiskies 100% Japanese.
