Tenjaku Japanese Whisky was released to the US in January 2020. It is comprised of whisky distilled and aged entirely in Japan. The grains used in its production were corn and barley and the whisky was aged from 3-5 years in used bourbon barrels. The Japanese characters displayed on the bottle are "hibari" or skylark.

Tasting Notes

"A new, reasonably priced Japanese whisky is a welcome sight, especially one that's completely distilled and aged in Japan. This is a young and fairly light whisky, with a distinct cereal note coming through on the finish. Up front it's a bit fruitier, with suggestions of pear, banana, and creme brulee, plus a bit of elderflower. A pleasantly sweet contribution from the bourbon barrels makes this an easily enjoyable blend."
