About Tenjaku Pure Malt Japanese Whiskey
Tenjaku Pure Malt Japanese Whiskey is a blended malt whisky, 100% malted barley, distilled and aged in Japan at 43% ABV by Minami Alps Wine and Beverage Co. Ltd. under Master Distiller Kenji Watanabe. What makes it special is its use of pure, mineral-rich spring water from volcanic aquifers and aging in heavily seasoned Kentucky bourbon barrels for up to 6 years, delivering a mellow, fruit-forward profile with surprising depth for a young, accessible whisky. Ideal for newcomers to Japanese whisky, highball enthusiasts, and value seekers—who get premium quality at $56.78 for 750ml from SHAW-ROSS INTERNATIONAL. In its category, it stands out as an affordable pure malt amid shortages of aged Japanese options, earning a 91/100 from VinePair and Beverage Testing Institute gold; it compares favorably to lighter Speysiders like Glen Grant 10yo but shines best mixed, offering balanced sweetness and subtlety over pricier single malts.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Fruit-forward with fresh green apple, pear sweetness, and decadent prunes or figs. Subtle floral honey, citrus peels, fresh oak shavings, and light vanilla or white pepper emerge. Earthy hints of grain and root vegetables add nuance.
👅 Palate
Rounded and sweet with stewed apple, succulent caramel, toffee, and nutty almond notes. Toasted edges bring green oak, ginger, and herbal bitterness, with a light cereal or cake-like body. Smooth mouthfeel carries bourbon barrel influence without heaviness.
✨ Finish
Short and subtle, fading to peppery oak, light ale, smoky vanilla, and woody fruit tea. A distinct cereal note lingers gently.
