Tenjaku - Japanese Whiskey
Tenjaku is created in the city of Fuefuki, located in the eastern part of the Kofu Basin in Yamanashi Prefecture. This fertile land encircled by soaring peaks, with the Chichibu mountains rising to the north and the Misaka range to the south, is renowned as Japan’s top peach and grape-producing region. Looking towards Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps, it is a place blessed with boundless nature, with verdant forests, beautiful orchards, hot springs, and crystal clear streams.
The Japanese characters for the skylark (hibari), the much-loved herald of spring in the East and West, and for this masterfully blended whisky.
Like the clear, exquisite song of a small bird, it features an agreeably pure, mellow flavour. Carefully selected unprocessed whiskies and pure, natural spring water are expertly blended to create this distinctive whisky. This was the vision of Tenjaku Master Blender, Kenji Watanabe.
Nose: A faint suggestion of smoke with pear blossom and plump sultana.
Palate: Tinned pears on the palate, with banana bread and thick custard.
Finish: Creamy oak spice and a floral elderflower finish.
