product Details

Hanyu 2000 Single Cask 14 Year Old #123 / Bar K6 Diamond Label

Not to be confused with the similar 'Card' series from Ichiro's Malt, these single cask bottlings actually depict blackjack hands in the various card suits.

A single cask release from the legendary closed Japanese distillery, Hanyu, this was distilled in 2000 and bottled as a 14 year old.

Interestingly, cask #1702 was the same used for the 3rd release of Nonjatta and Bar Keller's Hanyu Ghost series by Peter van Eycken. 80 litres of the cask were used to fill the 120 bottles of the Ghost series release, with the remnants (although maybe not all) used to bottle these single casks for Bar K6 in Kyoto, Japan. The cask yielded this release 345 bottles, of which there are 8 label variants (4 with blackjack hands and the erroneous cask number, and 4 reprints with the blackjack hands but no number at all).

Cask #1702 had a secondary maturation period inside an ex-Grappa barrel, provided by Minoru Nishida of Bar K6. The origin of the initial cask is not known, although it is likely to have been a bourbon barrel.

Bottle number 295.
