Hanyu 1991 Single Mizunara Cask 18 Year Old #369 / Whisky Live 10th Anniversary
A commemorative bottling of Hanyu produced to mark the 10th Anniversary of Whisky Live Japan.
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 1991 and bottled after 18 years in 2009 from cask #369, a Japanese Oak (Mizunara) cask.
