In turn, these unique whiskies have become much sought out around the world. 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 Togouchi range includes ‘highly unusual’ whiskies that have been finished in beer and sake casks.

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. Since a decade, japanese whisky is booming with the rise of its two most famous brands: Suntory and Nikka, but also Ichiro's Malt and many others. The know-how build up over centuries by the japanese including the production of shochu alcohol distillation, pushed some traditional fine spirits producers to engage in parallel in the distillation of malted barley or grain and therefore in the production of whisky occasionally to Hombo Shuzo / March for example, or continuously for White Oak and its famous single malt Akashi.Japan is also noted for its blended whisky. Seen as an art form in Japan, the best whisky blenders are highly respected individuals. Often they will use a variety of whiskies to subtly build up layers of flavour, tending to favour delicacy and balance ahead of big, bold sipping experiences, to create a style that is distinctly Japanese. Karuizawa: why is it a cult whisky brand? Whatever mysterious magic this sea adventure conjures up seems to work a treat in their lightly peated whisky, where delicate, sweet vanilla and soft smoke merge with zesty citrus flavours and a honeyed sweetness. There are also fresh touches of berries and a dry oak that seems to catch the flow of the smoke like incense and drift with a dusty dryness that lingers for an age. A deliciously unique peated whisky.
