A single cask release for Full Proof of the closed Japanese distillery Hanyu.Since its stills were turned off in 2000, Hanyu has become one of Japan's most sought after single malts. An economic recession at the turn of the millennium forced the distillery to shut its doors, and the remaining casks of its unblended whisky stock were purchased by Venture Whisky, a firm established by the Hanyu distillery founder's grandson, Ichiro Akuto, in 2004. In 2005 he bottled his first single casks under the Ichiro's Malt label.
Distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2009 from cask #9305. This is the first of two batches of 200 bottles.
This is bottle number 58.
