product Details

Hanyu 2000 ‘The Game’

This is a bottle from a Japanese food and spirits importer called Shinanoya exclusively for the Japanese market.

In 2012 at the Tokyo Whisky Festival, Shinanoya presented this new bottling of Hanyu 2000, bottled for their 5th Anniversary. This is the third release in their acclaimed The Game series which contains Hanyu from the final year that the distillery was producing.

The spirit has been finished for three and a half years in an highly unusual hogshead with Red Oak ends. Red Oak (Quercus Rubra) is rarely used for whisky casks because the wood has very open pores in the growth rings so casks have a tendency to leak.

Bottle number 88 of 309.

Important Notice

We would recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please contact us for a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise lots will be sold as seen in the images.

Please note: Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.
