Description

Ichiro's Malt Hanyu 23 Year Old Cask Strength is a legendary release from the now-silent Hanyu Distillery. Rescued by Ichiro Akuto before the distillery's stocks were lost, this expression represents the pinnacle of traditional Japanese whisky making. Distilled at the Hanyu Distillery before its closure in 2000. Aged for 23 years, resulting in exceptional depth and complexity. Bottled at a powerful cask strength of 58% ABV. Non-chill filtered and natural color for an authentic tasting experience. This bottle is a highly sought-after collector's item, offering a rare taste of history from one of Japan's most iconic 'ghost' distilleries. Its rich heritage and limited availability make it a centerpiece for any serious whisky collection.
