Toki Black, 43%

Price: 40 Issue: Winter 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Japanese Whisky

Get ready for a smoky Highball with this limited-edition Toki made from peated malt and Hakushu grain, together with Yamazaki and Chita whiskies. Aromas of dark chocolate, cigar smoke, dried herbs, yellow and green fruits, vanilla pod, and dunnage earth. A light, slightly mouth-drawing texture with honey- dew, then cantaloupe, followed by clove, ginger, pepper, smoked citrus peel, and candied lemon. Sweet citrus, smoke, and shredded ginger to finish.
