Toki is mostly used for mixing although nothing wrong with drinking it on its own. Aged Japanese whisky is overpriced right now due to a surge in unanticipated demand. IMO, Yamazaki 12 should be priced about the same as Macallan 12. You can get blended Japanese at better prices that are still outstanding. If your exploring try the Yamasaki, Hibiki, and if you can handle light smoke, Hakashu. In general, Japanese whiskys are lighter bodied but no less complex (think Pinot vs Cabernet) than their Scottish counterparts. They are very nuanced in flavor.
