We are proud to announce that Togouchi Rum Cask Finish has been named Best International Whisky at the Spiritueux de l’Année 2025 competition, organised by Cavistes & Co.
The Spiritueux de l’Année competition, led by Cavistes & Co magazine, recognises new launches in the spirits and aperitif categories based on several criteria: their capacity for innovation, as well as their suitability for specialist retail networks, particularly in terms of communication, price positioning and overall product quality.
The selection process takes place in two stages. Wine and spirits merchants, delicatessens and other specialist retailers first identify the most noteworthy references. The shortlisted candidates are then validated or ranked by a panel of industry professionals.
For this edition, nearly 400 wine and spirits merchants and delicatessens took the time to evaluate the new releases launched in 2025, making this award especially meaningful.
This distinction highlights the craftsmanship of Sakurao Distillery, whose expertise and innovative spirit are fully expressed in this rum cask finished whisky, bringing aromatic complexity and elegance.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Cavistes & Co team and to the members of the jury for this recognition, which once again confirms the innovation and excellence of Sakurao Distillery.
