This is a nice whisky, but overall it's not as smooth as the other Japanese whiskies I have tried. It has a light character throughout, so I bet it isn't aged that long. The nose is pretty subtle with some fruit, and floral notes. It remains light on the palate with a little bit of sweetness as well. The finish is not particularly long, and it's not as smooth as other Japanese whiskies. Tenjaku is alright on its own, but I bet it would be a really good whisky to mix with as well.
