Tenjaku was created to celebrate an appreciation for the local
environment, nature’s gifts and expert craftsmanship.
Blended to be a smooth whisky that would suit any drinking style,
either on the rocks, in a cocktail or served in traditional
‘Mizuwari’ style, Tenjaku will rise to all occasions.
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.
Water can be said to be the “soul” of whisky. Fuefuki sits atop an
alluvial fan system into which the excellent natural water from
the Misaka mountain range flows.
It is from 250 meters below this land that pure underground water
is drawn. Filtered through porous volcanic rock, it is perfect for
dilution when creating blended whiskies.
Velvety smooth, slightly alkaline in nature. The moderate mineral
content present in the water creates a whisky that is smooth and
easy to drink and a well balanced flavour.
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.
Our philosophy of excellence through natural ingredients is
derived from our Master Blender, Kenji Watanabe. A world
renowned and award winning craftsmen of whisky and wine,
Kenji’s sincere passion can be tasted in every sip of Tenjaku
Whisky
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
Kenji. Kenji applies his extensive knowledge of flavours and
past experience in creating whiskies to create the unique
taste of Tenjaku.
