Tenjaku is created in the city of Fuefuki, located in the eastern part of the Kofu basin. Facing Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps, it is a blessed place surrounded by endless nature with verdant forests, beautiful orchards, hot springs and crystal-clear streams.
The moderate mineral content present in the water of this area contributes to the creation of a smooth and easy-drinking whisky, with a balanced flavour, and a slightly alkaline nature.
The symbol of Tenjaku, depicted on the bottle, is the lark (hibari), a beloved herald of spring in the East and West. Like the soft and harmonious song of this small bird, the taste of Tenjaku whisky is pleasantly pure and smooth. Carefully selected whiskies and pure, natural spring water are expertly blended to create this distinctive whisky, with a harmonious and exquisitely balanced finish.
