Winning bid: £1,050
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.
The label shows the left hand of the tattooed man holding a bottle of "The Game" 2nd edition, which was released in 2011. All the 309 bottles were sold out in 5 minutes.
