Where Sea Mist Meets Smoke – Sakurao Togouchi Peated Cask Finish
🌏 Description
Sakurao Togouchi Peated Cask Finish is a masterful Japanese blended whisky that unites the floral clarity of grain spirit with the earthiness of peated maturation. Crafted by the Sakurao Distillery and aged in the cool, quiet depths of the Togouchi railway tunnel in Hiroshima, this whisky captures the mystique of the mountains and the salt-kissed air of Japan’s Seto Inland Sea.
The nose opens with honeyed grain, orchard fruit, and soft smoke, followed by a palate of roasted malt, maritime peat, green apple, and faint mineral edge. The texture is round and silky, with the peat arriving gently and fading cleanly. Its finish is both refreshing and slightly earthy — offering balance rather than boldness.
This expression is not overwhelming — instead, it whispers of sea winds, forest trails, and embers at dusk. It’s a peated whisky for those who prefer subtle depth over overpowering strength, and for drinkers who enjoy Japan’s coastal terroir translated into liquid form.

✨ Character Summary
Subtle, maritime, and modern — this peated finish whisky is a dialogue between elegance and earth.
Unlike heavily peated Islay whiskies, Sakurao Togouchi Peated Cask Finish embraces a refined expression of smoke. The peat never dominates — it simply lingers like the memory of a shoreline bonfire. There’s a quiet interplay between the coastal salt, the light grain sweetness, and the gentle roast of oak that defines its signature character.
What makes this whisky unique is how smoke is not the story, but a layer in the story. This is Japan’s answer to balance — a whisky that acknowledges tradition but reimagines it in its own, lighter voice.
For those beginning their journey into peated whisky, or for those who prefer clarity to heaviness, this bottle is a perfect introduction. It is peaceful but profound, crafted with care and finished with soul. A modern coastal whisky with a traditional Japanese heart.
