Whiskey 1 of 7
Togouchi, Sake Cask Finish
A delicate Japanese-style blend with a sake cask finish that brings polished fruit and a subtle rice sweetness.
Small Story
During one winter tasting session, this bottle surprised guests who expected intensity but found elegance instead. The sake cask touch gave the dram a rounded, almost silky edge, and it became our go-to opening pour for flights focused on nuance. One guest described it as "quietly complex," and that phrase still appears on our tasting board today.
