A blended whisky from The House of Suntory's three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Toki has a different composition to another Suntory blend, Hibiki, as its main components are Hakashu single malt and Chita grain whisky. It should work really well in a highball.
Fun fact: 'Toki' means 'time' in Japanese.
Soft orchard fruits and thyme honey are joined by a helping of peppermint in the backdrop.
More green apple on the palate leads along bright citrus notes from pink grapefruit. Bitter herbs, toasted almonds and vanilla oak linger underneath.
White pepper and ginger add spice to the finish.
I've drank a lot of different whiskey/whisky over the last 50 years. I'm not an expert but I know what I enjoy. I usually drink a single malt but as this was on offer thought I'd give it a go. What a lovely whisky ?. It's smooth, lots of different fruity spice which I like. There's almost a bourbon taste on first sip but this soon dissapates. Very quaffable and a nice aroma. Doubt I'd pay full whack but would definitely buy again when on offer.
It's an average blended whisky , heavily scented with a sharp bite to it. My first impression was 'True Firewater' I'm used to single Malts Scottish or Irish . This was a gift but not something I would buy myself .
Quite an easy drink for a blended whiskey
Many people don’t highly rate this whisky, for me it’s really smooth, caramel and vanilla notes. I thinks it’s fantastic for the price and punches well above its price point. This Toki sits in my lovely Japanese whisky decanter.
I was gifted this and was my first Japanese whisky. I was mildly surprised how good this is, as it's fresh, fruity sweet, fruity citrus but all with a spicy/peppery taste in the finish. I've not mixed this with anything like other have, but IHMO it's a good value summer whisky.
