A 1990 Hanyu single cask finished in a sherry butt after 19 years in Ex-Bourbon wood, bottled at 53% cask strength for the Dutch market in 2009, with the dried fruit and spice depth that Oloroso finishing on mature Hanyu spirit characteristically delivers.

Description
Hanyu 19 Years Old 1990 is a single cask single malt distilled in 1990 at Hanyu in Saitama Prefecture and bottled in 2009 at cask strength for the Netherlands, one of several European market releases from the rescued Toa Shuzo stocks that Ichiro Akuto managed after the distillery closed in 2000.
The cask sequence moved from a hogshead into a sherry butt finish over the 19-year maturation. Oloroso finishing on spirit that has already spent many years in first-fill bourbon wood tends to layer dark fruit, dried spice and leather without fully replacing the lighter honeyed and cereal notes built in the earlier years. At 53% the expression sits at a measured cask strength, making it one of the more approachable of the vintage single casks while still delivering genuine concentration.
