Description

Looking for a Japanese whisky that bridges tradition with approachable elegance?

Tenjaku Pure Malt Japanese Whisky represents exceptional craftsmanship from Japan’s Yamanashi Prefecture, utilizing 100% malted barley and pristine spring water sourced 250 meters underground from the Mt. Fuji basin. This expression showcases the artistry of double copper pot distillation combined with aging in heavily seasoned Kentucky bourbon barrels. Unlike the peated intensity found in Big Peat Islay expressions, Tenjaku offers a more delicate approach to pure malt whisky, while sharing the premium craftsmanship seen in Togouchi Premium Japanese blends.
