Sakurao Togouchi 9 Years Old

Sakurao Togouchi 9 Years Old is a blended whisky from Sakurao Brewery & Distillery in Hiroshima, carrying a nine year age statement and bottled at 40% for Europe. Togouchi is Sakurao's blended whisky range, known for maturing its stocks in the Togouchi railway tunnel in Hiroshima, where constant temperature and high humidity create steady, unhurried conditions for the spirit.

The blend is matured in Ex-Bourbon casks, and at nine years delivers a smooth, accessible style with vanilla sweetness, light orchard fruit and gentle cereal grain character. As with all Togouchi releases, the makeup of the blend is not disclosed, and the style should be appreciated for the cask character and tunnel maturation that define the range rather than a single provenance claim.
