Togouchi is a blended Japanese whisky from the producers Chugoku Jozo, who mature their whisky in a tunnel rather than a warehouse. The name comes from where the tunnel is located, in the town of Togouchi, which merged with two other towns to create a larger town called Akiota. This is their no-age-statement expression, the Togouchi Premium Blended Japanese Whisky.

Superb!!
This is a subtle whisky which partly explains the mixed ratings, as subtlety is by its very nature easy to miss. I personally thought it is a superb blending of complex umami elements with sweetness and saltiness. It is smooth and short lived, but beautifully balanced and quite complex if you taste it closely. The flavour is focussed on the meaty mushroomy flavours which combine so interestingly with the sweetness and reminded me of a sugary mushroom dish I once had at a Michelin starred French restaurant. Recommended if you find other affordable Japanese whiskies too peppery.
Exclusive, different, subtle, mild, smooth but rich.
As far as I know it is not an authentic Japanese whisky, the brewery has no single distill pot, it imports cheap scotch whisky in bulk and reserve in their own cask and bottle it and sell back to Europe or other markets. The thing is why we pay extra costs for a fake Japanese whisky. There is more and more this type of Japanese whiskies while Japanese whisky is still booming. An other brand is called Kurayoshi, even worse.
Je suis assez déçu par ce whisky, le nez est très léger, la bouche est certes douce, mais sans goût réel, la finale est très courte, très portée sur l'alcool. Il n'est pas mauvais en soi, mais selon moi sens grand intérêt. I'm a little disappointed. The nose is very light, the mouth is smooth but not really tasty, and the final is very short. Not a bad whisky, but to me, not really interesting.
