Tenjaku Blended Whisky is a craft Japanese Whisky made from a mash bill of 86% corn and 14% barley. This whisky is double copper pot distilled using some of the world’s purest water from the Mt. Fuji basin. According to Tenjaku, “if people are the heart of Tenjaku, environment is the soul.” This is because all the water used when making this whisky has been drawn from 250 meters below the surface of the Misaka Mountain range, allowing the water to naturally be filtered through volcanic rock ensuring a velvety-smooth texture.
Tenjaku then spends between 3 and 6 years in seasoned Kentucky bourbon barrels before being bottled at 40% ABV.
Tenjaku Blended Whisky has a retail price of around $45 USD.
