Starting with a mash bill of 86% corn and 14% barley, the whisky is then double copper pot distilled using some of the world’s most pristine waters from the Misaka Mountain range in the Mt. Fuji basin, 250 meters below the surface. This is the some of the purest water in the world and where the highest-grade sake’s source their water. Finally, Tenjaku is aged in heavily seasoned Kentucky bourbon barrels resulting in a rich, full bodied malt flavor, with a grain taste that is toned down but freely allowed to express its individual characteristics. This exquisite balance forms a clean, timeless blend of 3yr, 5yr & 6yr whisky.
80 Proof (ABV 40%)OUR PRODUCTION PROCESS
When Tenjaku Whisky was initially created, the goal was to formulate a pure, mellow whisky that would suit any drinking style. Whether served on the rocks or mixed into a cocktail, Tenjaku Whisky provides a fresh smoothness that can only be achieved by masterfully blending the highest quality ingredients derived from our natural environment.
ENVIRONMENT
Our story begins in Japan’s Yamanashi Prefecture in the city of Fuefuki, overlooking Mt. Fuji. This fertile area is blessed with nature’s greatest gifts including lush forests, beautiful orchards, hot springs, and most importantly, crystal clear streams. This natural spring water is the lifeblood of Tenjaku Whisky.
BLENDING TECHNIQUE
Drawing together the individual characteristics of each unprocessed whisky for a harmonious, exquisitely balanced finish – this is the delicate blending technique that is unique to Japan.
With countless tasting and smelling sessions, the important processes involved in creating a blend see sophisticated techniques employed by a craftsman who applies his past experience in creating whiskies and extensive knowledge of flavors and aromas cultivated through many years of winemaking.
Sweet aromas of slightly smoky accents, pear, and dried fruit. The taste is round and soft, but exceptionally powerful. It has a long and spicy finish with a hint of white oak.
