Distillery: Sakurao Distillery

The Single Malt Togouchi 1st Release is one of two first single malts released by the Sakurao Distillery. Until now, the Togouchi line of bottlings was made up of world blended expressions created using large portions of imported Scotch whisky, and to be honest, some of them were fantastic. However, it is without doubt a positive to see a new bottling in the line that is altogether more authentic and true to the distillerys roots. This one is a cask strength release, coming in at 52% ABV, and it differs from the Single Malt Sakurao in that it was matured in the famous Togouchi Tunnels an old trial tunnel that allowed trains to pass through the deep mountain passes of Hiroshima. Today, it is the perfect location for maturing spirits thanks to the temperature and moisture levels, while it also adds a unique and interesting flavour to the expression.
