The Togouchi 18 Year Old is a premium Japanese blended (blend of Scottish malt and Canadian grain) whisky known for its smooth, fruity profile and highly unusual maturation process.
Smooth and heavily fruity with prominent notes of peach and pear, followed by sweet undertones of honey, vanilla, and light brown sugar. If left to sit, hints of dry hay, malted cereals, and fragrant oak come forward.
A velvety, full-bodied arrival featuring sweet orchard fruits (peaches) mixed with the dry, malty flavor of cereal. It holds a warm complexity layered with white pepper, gentle oak spice, and subtle floral hints like violets.
