Teitessa 15 Year Old Single Grain Japanese Whisky, Japan

Japanese single grain Spirit from the foothills of Mount Fuji aged fifteen years in American white oak.

Mount Fuji is an icon of Japanese culture around the world. The majestic, snow-capped stratovolcano sits bout sixty mile east of Tokyo. But much closer in the southern foothills is the town of Fuji where the melted glacial waters from Mount Fuji spring out from the rocks. It is in this perfect place that Fuji Takasago and his brewmaster Noto Tōji decided to build the Miyazaki Saki and Shochu facility in 1831. They have grown slowly and honorably in the same location for nearly two hundred years, expanding into a range of quality Spirits.

Teitessa 15 Year Old Grain Japanese Whisky is the youngest Spirit in the Teitessa lineup right now — and that’s saying something. All three Spirits start with the same single grain foundation as all three of their signature drams. Due to the distillery’s nearly two-hundred year history crafting Saki and Shochu, the single grain is most likely rice fermented with koji. The Spirit was then aged in American white oak for fifteen years.
