Togouchi Rum Cask Finish is a distinctive expression that highlights the creativity and precision of Japanese craftsmanship. Its rum cask finishing adds an exotic and indulgent dimension to an already harmonious whisky profile.

Blending and production

This whisky is crafted from a precise blend of grain and malt whiskies. After distillation, the whiskies are first aged in oak casks before undergoing a finishing period in carefully selected rum barrels. Final maturation takes place in an old railway tunnel, providing ideal natural conditions with stable temperature and humidity. This finishing process enhances smoothness, roundness and aromatic richness while preserving overall balance.
