Tenjaku Whisky Pure Malt

Description

Aroma

Initial Impression: Look for a sweetness reminiscent of honey or honeycomb. Light, refreshing citrus notes like grapefruit or orange peel might tickle your nose. Sometimes, a hint of pear adds a juicy quality. Subtle peppery spice, perhaps white pepper, can add a touch of complexity.

Deeper Sniffs: As you take a deeper breath, you might detect some grainy notes hinting at the malted barley base. Bourbon cask influence can reveal itself with subtle hints of vanilla and oak, adding a touch of warmth and dryness.

Palate

First Sip: The smoothness of Tenjaku is immediately apparent. Honey sweetness takes center stage, complemented by creamy vanilla notes from the bourbon casks.

Midpalate: The fruitiness unfolds, with melon or cantaloupe flavors emerging alongside a refreshing note of ginger. The oak influence becomes more noticeable, adding a subtle dryness and a hint of tannin.

Finish

Lingering Flavors: The sweetness fades gradually, leaving a touch of vanilla and a hint of warming spice. Some reviewers detect a touch of rye spice in the finish, adding a pleasant complexity.
