Through their unwavering commitment to crafting fine whisky, Sakurao Distillery has upheld a distillation technique that has been passed down through generations for over a century. Their skilled blenders, guided by their refined senses, expertly identify the distinct qualities of malt and grain whisky, harmoniously blending them to achieve the perfect balance of a moderate peaty aroma and a gentle finish.
Benefiting from the climatic influences of the Seto Inland Sea's warm winds and the cool mountain breezes, the Sakurao warehouse experiences significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year. This unique environment facilitates the rapid maturation of whisky within their barrels. In contrast, the Togouchi warehouse, situated within an old railway tunnel, maintains a consistently cool temperature, irrespective of the season, allowing the whisky to mature slowly and gracefully over time.
It is within these natural and carefully curated environments that the casks are given the freedom to breathe, resulting in the exquisite golden hue, distinctive aroma, and refined taste that define Togouchi blended whisky.
