Description
This 1991 Hanyu represents one of the final releases from the now-closed Japanese distillery, bottled as the Six of Hearts in Ichiro Akuto's legendary Card Series. Matured in a hogshead before finishing in American oak, the spirit carries the hallmarks of Hanyu's refined house style—delicate fruit and oak spice balanced with earthy undertones at 57.9% ABV. Only 564 bottles exist, making this a cornerstone acquisition for collectors of Japanese whisky. A rare opportunity to own part of a lost distillery's legacy.
