Toki Whiskey might have come all the way from Japan, but it’s found a home in South Africa not only for being mellow and easy-drinking. Toki Whiskey is a blend of malt and grain whiskies from the Hakushu, Chita and Yamazaki distilleries. This whiskey is light and vibrant, making it ideal for beginners to the world of whiskey or in your next highball.
