Tenjaku Blended Whisky: A Symphony of Purity and Flavor
Introduction to Tenjaku Blended Whisky
Tenjaku Blended Whisky begins with a mash bill of 86% corn and 14% barley. This exceptional blend undergoes double copper pot distillation using some of the world’s purest water from the Misaka Mountain range in the Mt. Fuji basin. Drawn from 250 meters below the surface, this pristine water is also used in the highest-grade sake. Finally, the whisky is aged in heavily seasoned Kentucky bourbon barrels, creating a rich, full-bodied malt flavor. The grain taste is toned down yet expressive, resulting in an exquisite balance of 3-year, 5-year, and 6-year whiskies.
A Flavor Profile to Savor
Tenjaku Blended Whisky is crisp and mild with a light and mellow flavor. Its clear amber color invites you to experience its faint smoky accent and sweet aroma, reminiscent of pear and dried fruit. On the palate, it is well-rounded and mellow, leading to a slightly spicy, long finish. You will also notice hints of white oak and a spreading sweetness, making each sip a delightful journey.
Meticulous Production Process
Tenjaku Whisky was created with the goal of achieving a pure, mellow whisky suitable for any drinking style. Whether enjoyed on the rocks or mixed into a cocktail, Tenjaku Whisky offers a fresh smoothness that is unmatched. This is achieved by masterfully blending high-quality ingredients derived from nature.
The Essence of Environment
Our story begins in Japan’s Yamanashi Prefecture, in the city of Fuefuki, overlooking Mt. Fuji. This fertile area is blessed with lush forests, beautiful orchards, hot springs, and, most importantly, crystal clear streams. This natural spring water is the lifeblood of Tenjaku Whisky.
Water: The Soul of Tenjaku Whisky
The true essence of Tenjaku Whisky lies in its natural ingredients, especially the spring water used during distillation. Drawn from 250 meters below the Misaka mountain range, this water is filtered through volcanic rock. This process ensures a velvety-smooth texture and moderate mineral content, contributing to Tenjaku’s unique balance of smoothness, cleanliness, and flavor.

Countless tasting and smelling sessions are conducted, employing sophisticated techniques unique to Japan.
