About the distillery: Founded in 1918, Chugoku Jozo is a brewery in the Hiroshima region. A producer of liqueurs, sake and shochu, it began producing whisky in 1990 with the creation of the Togouchi range. Their range is characterized by finesse and precision, with aging in a unique location, a 361-meter-long tunnel dug in 1970. Ideal maturing conditions, with a constant temperature of 14°C and 80% humidity, enable slow extraction of the aromas.
Detailed tasting notes: This whisky has a brilliant amber color with light gold highlights. Its dynamic, elegant nose reveals superb notes of nuts and grass, adding to its aromatic complexity. On the palate, a smooth, refined texture reveals harmonious aromas of hazelnut, chocolate, honey and white pepper, offering magnificent persistence.
Serving suggestions: Ideal with salmon and avocado sushi, red tuna chirashi or sea bass tartar with fennel. It is also an excellent digestive.
