Hanyu 2000 Whisky Live 2011 Tokyo
Lot number: 066-3178
Winning bid: £640
Closed in 2000 and dismantled in 2004, Hanyu's legacy lives on thanks to Ichiro Akuto who purchased the remaining 400 casks and began releasing it in the Ichiro's Malt card series. This marketing masterstroke featured a different playing card on the label, allowing people to easily remember their favourites and encouraging collectors to complete the full deck. There were only 17 years of production at Hanyu so stocks are limited and scarce.

Distilled: 2000
Bottled: 2011
Cask Type: Hogshead, refilled into Japanese oak
Cask Number: 9510
