Description
Hanyu 18 Years Old 1991 is a single cask single malt distilled at the closed Hanyu distillery in Saitama Prefecture in 1991 and bottled in 2009 at cask strength. Alongside its German-market stablemate from the same vintage, this global release also carries a mizunara finish, the Japanese oak wood that is among the most distinctive contributors in the Hanyu cask repertoire.
Starting in Ex-Bourbon and completing in a mizunara hogshead, the 18-year maturation traces the classic Ichiro Akuto finishing approach: bourbon wood for primary development, then Japanese oak for the aromatic signature that sets these releases apart. Mizunara hogsheads transfer sandalwood, incense and a subtle oriental spice note, and at 57.4% those qualities are delivered at full intensity alongside the underlying fruit and malt character of the Hanyu house style.
