SVC® Hanyu Whisky Talk Fukuoka 2012 – 8843679629609

A limited-edition Japanese single malt whisky from the closed Hanyu distillery, bottled in celebration of the Japanese Whisky Talk festival, held in Fukuoka, Japan in 2012. Distilled in 2000, matured in an American oak puncheon and bottled in 2012. Only 446 bottles were produced, each individually numbered. Bottled at a cask strength of 60.1%.

Since its stills were turned off in 2000, Hanyu has become one of Japan’s most sought after whiskies. An economic recession at the turn of the millennium forced the distillery to shut its doors, and the remaining casks were purchased by Venture Whisky, a firm established by the Hanyu distillery founder’s grandson, Ichiro Akuto, in 2004. In 2005 he bottled his first single casks under the now famous Ichiro’s Malt label.
