Tenjaku Whisky is a blended whisky produced by Minami Alps Wine & Beverage Co. Ltd, located at the base of the iconic Mount Fuji. This scenic region is renowned for its fertile land, fresh mountain spring water, and expansive peach and vineyard fields, aptly reflected in the whisky's name. "Tenjaku" symbolizes the skylark (hibari), a cherished harbinger of spring in both Eastern and Western cultures. Expertly crafted by renowned master blender Kenji Watanabe, this whisky is a harmonious blend of single malt and grain whisky.
Bottled at a classic strength of 40% ABV, Tenjaku Whisky offers a nuanced profile that includes notes of light and slightly fruity dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, sweet honey, and fine spices. The blend captures the essence of its region, presenting a delicate balance of flavors that appeal to both seasoned whisky enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
The rising popularity of Japanese whisky has sparked questions regarding the authenticity of new offerings from lesser-known distilleries. In Japan, whisky labeled as "Japanese" may incorporate grain spirits from Scotland and other countries before being aged and bottled domestically. Despite the absence of stringent whisky regulations in Japan, all products from domestic producers are classified as "Japanese Whisky." This often blurs the line between authentic and non-authentic Japanese whiskies, as some blends may contain distillates from Scotland, Ireland, or America.
Launched in 2020, Tenjaku Blended Whisky has intrigued whisky lovers with its enigmatic origins and limited available information. Despite this mystery, the whisky has garnered a following for its distinctive flavor profile and the allure surrounding its production.
Tenjaku Whisky offers a light-bodied flavor with notes of sweet butterscotch, apple, banana, and oak barrel, complemented by a short, sweet, and spicy finish.

Although Tenjaku Whisky is produced in Japan, the definition of "authentic" Japanese whisky can vary due to the lack of stringent whisky regulations in the country. Some blends may include distillates from other countries aged and bottled in Japan.
