Chichibu 2010 For Whisky Talk 2015
Lot number: 085-3434
Winning bid: £400
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 in celebration of the Japanese 'Whisky Talk' festival, held in Fukuoka, Japan in 2015.
Distilled: 2010
Bottled: 2015
Cask Type: First Fill Barrel / Third Fill Puncheon
60.8% ABV / 70cl
Bottle Number: 534 / 593
