The Togouchi 12yo Japanese Blended Whisky is an exceptional creation from the Chugoku Jozo distillery, expertly blending Scottish malt whisky and Canadian grain whisky. What truly distinguishes this whisky is its aging process, which takes place in the unique setting of a decommissioned railway tunnel in the town of Togouchi. This tunnel, 361 meters long, provides a consistent temperature of 14°C and 80% humidity, creating ideal conditions for the whisky to mature in ex-sherry and ex-brandy casks. This meticulous aging process results in a rich and fruity blend, characterized by notes of citrus, honey, and toasted nuts, with a subtle smokiness imparted by the use of peated malt. The Togouchi 12yo is a testament to Chugoku Jozo's dedication to innovation and craftsmanship, making it a must-try for whisky enthusiasts seeking something truly unique.

Reviews of the Togouchi 12yo Japanese Blended Whisky present a mix of opinions. While some appreciate the unique aging process and the blend's complex notes of apples, pears, citrus, and subtle smokiness, others feel it lacks the elegance and precision of more traditional Japanese whiskies. Critics note its thin texture and the somewhat surprising combination of flavors, with some herbal and floral elements clashing with the sweetness. Despite this, the whisky is generally recognized as a decent, well-crafted blend that is interesting and non-demanding, suitable for casual sipping rather than being a standout in the world of fine whiskies.
