TogouchiKiwamiBlendedJapaneseWhisky(700mL)

<p>Another winning blend of international Whiskies from Togouchi with a grain-forward flavor profile.</p><p><em>Chugoku Jozo </em>was started in 1918 as a distributor of Sake and traditional Japanese liquors. They specialized in all the stuff that happens after distillation — meaning that they sourced young Spirits from distillers and then blended, aged, bottled, and distributed it themselves. By <em>1963</em> they were ready to start brewing their own Sake and released the first finished, aged product in <em>1967</em>. Today they curate, produce, age, and package a variety of Sakes, Wines, and Whiskies under several brands, including <em>Togouchi</em>. Interestingly, they age their Whiskies in a nearly <em>1200-foot long abandoned railway tunnel</em> rather than a conventional warehouse.</p><p>All Togouchi Whiskies are premium blends of local<em> Japanese, Scottish,</em> and<em> Canadian Spirits </em>(more offerings that are all from the local Sakurao distillery will come soon). <em>Togouchi Kiwami</em> was created exclusively for the French market. But we know a guy who knows a guy who owes us a favor. Anyway, long story short, <em>we managed to get some cases to share with you.</em></p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>In Japanese, the word pronounced “Kiwami” translates roughly as “height” or “supreme.”</em></p>
