 TOGOUCHI PREMIUM JAPANESE BLENDED WHISKY 700ML 40%

On the nose, it’s very grainy with notes of butterscotch, cotton candy and a bit of freshly cut grass. Apparently, this is a blend of 8yo malt and corn whisk(e)y, but you may be forgiven for thinking this was a grain whisky. In fact, it reminds me of Nikka’s Coffey Grain – that’s how dominant the grain is. On the palate, you get corn bread, marshmallows, soft caramel candy, white pepper, nutmeg, agave syrup and a slight bitterness (goya). The finish is sweet and spicy, but rather short. If you’re a Bourbon fan, you’ll dig this.
