Togouchi

The history

The Japanese whiskey maker Togouchi has been operating a distillery on Honshu Island since 1918. The distillery called Chugoku Jozo initially made only Japanese spirits and fruit liqueurs.

First in 1990 that the idea of producing a blended whiskey was put into practice and a product was created. However, the distillery does not distill its own whiskeys, but instead imports the individual distillates from Canada and Scotland.

The production

The master blender of the Chugoku Jozo Distillery creates a composition of Scottish malt whiskey and Canadian grain whiskey.

The storage

For maturation, the whiskeys are stored in an old railway tunnel. This is 361m long and creates ideal conditions with its 14 ° C and a humidity of 80%.
