Description
Hanyu 21 Years Old 1985 is a single cask single malt from the now-closed Hanyu distillery in Saitama Prefecture, which was built by Toa Shuzo and produced whisky from the early 1980s until its closure in 2000. Distilled in 1985 and bottled in 2006 by Ichiro Akuto, who rescued the remaining Hanyu casks and brought them to market, this was released to Germany at natural cask strength.
The cask journey began in a first-fill hogshead before the spirit moved into a Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butt for finishing over 21 years. That sherry influence would have layered dried fruit, dark chocolate and leather over whatever fruit and grain character built in the hogshead years, and at 55.7% the concentration is considerable. With no flavour data available, the profile follows the typical sherried depth that Oloroso finishes on older Hanyu casks tend to produce.
