Tenjaku Pure Malt Whiskey Sherry Cask Limited Edition is a sherry-cask-matured Japanese pure malt, stated at 3 years and bottled at 86 proof in a limited release.
Tenjaku’s pure malt is a vatting of 100% malt whiskies — no grain whisky in the blend — and this limited edition layers sherry cask maturation on top of the house style. Sherry wood is prized in malt whisky for the depth it adds, and at 43% ABV this 700mL release sits a step above standard bottlings in both strength and presentation. Tenjaku is produced in Japan and named for the falcon of Japanese folklore that appears across the brand’s range.
Tasting Notes
Expect a malt-forward core shaped by sherry wood: dried fruit and raisin sweetness, toasted nuts, and gentle oak spice over a smooth, rounded finish. Best neat or with a drop of water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “pure malt” mean?
Pure malt (also called blended malt) means the whisky is a blend of 100% malt whiskies with no grain whisky added, distinct from a single malt which comes from one distillery.
What does sherry cask maturation add?
Sherry-seasoned casks are known for contributing dried fruit, raisin, and nutty depth to malt whisky, rounding out the spirit with richer sweetness than ex-bourbon wood.
Is this a limited release?
Yes — this Sherry Cask expression is sold as a limited edition in 700mL format, separate from Tenjaku’s standard pure malt bottling.
