Togouchi Beer Cask Finish Whisky
Unique Blending Process
Togouchi Beer Cask Finish is a distinct blended whisky created from only 36 carefully selected casks. This exclusive edition undergoes a unique maturation process in oak casks previously used for Martinique rum and IPA beers. The Chief Blender of Sakurao distillery meticulously selects these casks, ensuring a unique flavor profile.
Rich and Complex Aroma
On the nose, Togouchi Beer Cask Finish reveals a remarkable influence of IPA beer, imparting subtle hints of hops. This is beautifully complemented by the honeyed notes of Martinique rum. Despite its youth, the whisky delivers a complex bouquet of aromas including baked apples, nuts, and corn flakes, all gently enveloped by a whisper of peat.
Delicate and Balanced Flavor
In the mouth, Togouchi Beer Cask Finish showcases a harmonious blend of flavors. You’ll taste the richness of baked apples, the nuttiness of hazelnuts, and the crunch of corn flakes, all with a delicate touch of peat. The finish is sweet, leaving behind the lingering sweetness of honey, the finesse of peat, and a slight bitterness.
Japanese Aging Excellence
Togouchi whiskies are renowned for their Japanese aging and blending process. Though the whiskies are imported from Scotland and Canada, their maturation occurs in a 361-meter-long tunnel in Togouchi, Japan. This tunnel, with its consistent temperature of 14°C and 80% humidity, provides ideal conditions for whisky aging. The pristine spring water from the Sandankyo natural park adds a distinct Japanese character to the whisky.
Exotic Flavor Notes
Togouchi Beer Cask Finish offers an array of exotic fruit notes including coconut, banana, pineapple, lychee, and kiwi. These fruity flavors are balanced with cereal notes of barley, wheat, rye, corn, and malt. Sweet undertones of honey, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel further enrich the whisky’s profile.
Exclusive Japanese Whisky
Togouchi is a notable name in the Japanese whisky market, blending Scottish malt and Canadian grain whiskies in Japan. The aging process in the Togouchi tunnel, near Hiroshima, imparts a unique character to these whiskies. This special blend and maturation technique make Beer Cask Finish a remarkable choice for whisky enthusiasts.
