Hanyu 2000 Ichiro’s Malt Card Series – Five of Diamonds

Hanyu 2000, part of the esteemed Ichiro’s Malt Card Series, represents a rare glimpse into a lost distillery’s legacy. Distilled in Naka-gama, Japan, before its unfortunate closure, this bottling showcases the unique character of that region’s barley and water. The “Five Diamonds” designation indicates a particularly exceptional expression, exhibiting rich notes of dark cherry, dried figs, and a subtle smokiness reminiscent of Highland peat. A creamy texture and a long, warming finish complete this complex and unforgettable whisky, a poignant echo of Japanese distilling history.
