Togouchi 12 Year Old Whisky 70cl

Taste nothing like a Japanese whisky. Avoid avoid

This is disappointing and I think it was the grain whisky mixed into this.

I had a sample of this bottle and was taken back how much lemon notes smell/taste there was. I got myself a full size bottle but it took 4 tastings to get the same notes as before. But i do like this very much. Would like higher %

Very impressed with this - lovely bottle, simple boxing, just shows Blends are wholly underestimated. Nose biscuit, lemon and plum.
First taste, fruity but not in the expected Yuletide way, certainly plummy. Add teaspoon of water and BOOM - the shortbread is ready to take out of the oven. 40% seems on the low side, has a potency that seems a higher % on the tongue. After 15 mins, the lemon cones though. Hugely grateful for this experience - beautifully made and congratulations to the team behind this

A had no real expectations. But it´s great!

Nose: Caramelised lemon.

Palate: Washing powder. It does a job. Just shouldn't be doing this one.

After: Finishes by bashing across the edges. Chalky.

A surprising whisky, and although it is only partially japanese, it has those unique japanese qualities of smothness, balance, fullness of aroma !

Matches up nicely against other Japanese Whiskeys. Some peat, a little cherry maybe. But the Togouchi folks sure like to give you a blast of alcohol on the nose and a burn going down.

Fellows, pls avoid this whisky, it is not a real Japanese whisky, Japanese package, inside Scotch.
