Togouchi NAS

The Togouchi isn't a strictly Japanese whisky. From my understanding Chugoku-Jozo imports Scottish malt and Canadian grain and blends and ages them in Japan. Anyways let's try this 40% vol. no ages statement blend.

• Nose: Slightly biting, mandarin oranges, vanilla, cinnamon, relatively young and light
• Mouth: Mild, molasses, young grain, light bodied
• Finish: Molasses, hints of oak and cedar wood, oranges with clove, medium long

Comment: This is fairly pleasing with some complexity shimmering trough the overall light bodied whisky.
