The wine

Hanyu distillé en 1988 et embouteillé en 2009 au degré naturel dans la série « Noh Whisky » créée par Number Number One Drinks, la société fondée par David Croll et Marcin Miller en 2006 responsable de nombreux embouteillages de Karuizawa, en soutien à la troupe de théâtre nô Kamiasobi, fondée en 1997 pour faire vivre cet art traditionnel japonais dont les origines remontent XIVe siècle. En l'occurence, le personnage représenté sur l'étiquette est Saigyouzakura, l'esprit du cerisier. Le whisky a vieilli vingt-et-un dans un fût de sherry en chêne espagnol (#9306) dont ont été tirées 625 bouteilles. C'est un des deux seuls Hanyu de la série Noh Whisky.

The distillery Hanyu

Japan, Saitama. Distillery closed and dismantled.

It was in 1941 that the Akuto family, saké brewers for generations, founded its distillery in the small town of Hanyu in Saitama Prefecture. In 1946, Hanyu was awarded a spirit production licence and began producing a grain spirit. In the early 1980s, the family began producing a Scottish-style malt whisky and equipped the distillery with pot stills. From 1983 to March 2000, it somehow supported this activity, but it was far from a commercial success and eventually the family decided to end the practice. The distillery was dismantled in 2004 and the site sold. It was Ichiro, Isouji Akuto's grandson, who bought the stills, along with some 400 barrels of Hanyu single malt in barrel. It was from this stock, covering the period 1985-2000, that the Playing Cards Series was created, a collection of 52 single casks of all ages and styles of maturation. A full set would today be valued at nearly one million euros. In parallel, Ichiro sold a huge number of single casks to his customers and brought to life his dream of building his own distillery, Chichibu.
