Hanyu Genesis 1st Release
Lot number: 173-05293
Winning bid: £280
Built in 1941 during World War II, closed in 2000 and dismantled in 2004, Hanyu’s legacy lived on thanks to Ichiro Akuto who purchased the remaining 400 casks and began releasing it in the Ichiro’s Malt card series. In late 2020 it was announced that the Tao Shuzo company were going to rebuild the distillery with new copper pot stills. Work on the distillery quickly progressed and in 2021 it was announced that Hanyu had commenced distillation.
This is the long awaited 1st release from Hanyu since reopening.
