Togouchi Premium Blended Japanese Whisky

Excelentes aromas color dorado y con un buen volumen de alcohol

19th April 2018

For the price i expected it to be solid but it was just a dissapointment in every aspect.
On the nose it has nothing except maybe a little rice.

In mouth its just like moonshine no flavors at. With a little water it looses the tiniest thing it has and becomes just water.
Aftertaste is just dissgusting also nothing to it. After finishing the bottle it KINDA gets a little better just because i think you get used to it a little bit but it still develops no character.

Sad life

I wasn't really impressed by the whisky itself but I'd like to clear one thing up:

>This is not real Japanese whisky, with a connection to China. Clear by the label and the taste.

This whisky is indeed made by "Chugoku Jouzo" but in this case, "Chugoku" does not mean China. Yes, it's the same kanji but Chugoku is also a name for a region in Japan that includes places like Hiroshima and Okayama. The company that made (or perhaps more accurately, aged) this whisky is located in Hiroshima so hence the name, Chugoku Jouzo. It might be a stretch to call this "Japanese" whisky but it certainly isn't Chinese.

Received as part of the 2017 MM Advent Calender. Not good. Really the worst of the bunch — but good to compare against.

This is not real Japanese whisky, with a connection to China. Clear by the label and the taste.

It tastes just like vodka. It's a very smooth vodka, but this doesnt taste like whiskey, not my cup of tea for sipping

I think this is not whisky, smells pure alcoholand taste like nothing...forget about malt or barrels...

Pathetic and totally disappointing. No flavour , no depth or soul. Felt totally cheated ; paying a premium when this one doesn't seem to have been matured at all 🙃😑👎🏼

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.

I think the subtly typifies the Japanese palate. Everything about this whisky is subtle. It has a light colour, subtle flavors and a quick finish.

I know the whiskies in the blend are Scottish and Canadian but the blending is definitely Japanese.

So elusive compared to other japanese blends, yet a pungent statment of individuality and character in production provenance.

Big top notes of candied apple, give mouth juice and awakening.

The length is short, forcing assertion in detection like a quick fire quiz question.

Challenge the norm, and make your self realise something different, or and add a bottle that states its own section within japanese blends within your collection.

Like drinking warm honey.

Un gout subtile, pour ceux qui ont un palais délicat, je suis amateur de Whisky qui ne déchire pas mais qui ont du gout
