Hanyu Ichiro's Malt 2000 for Shot Bar Zoetrope 3rd Anniversary
Lot number: 072-0731
Winning bid: £1,150
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.
Bottled for the 3rd anniversary (in 2009) of the hugely popular Zoetrope whisky bar in Tokyo, this Hanyu was finished in a rum cask.
Distilled: 2000
Bottled: 2009
Cask Type: Bourbon/Rum
Cask Number: 9800
60.7% ABV / 70cl
Bottle Number: 139 / 263
