Hanyu (silent) Ichiro's Malt - Five Of Diamonds Japanese Single Malt Whisky 2000 Vintage
Out of stock
A Hanyu single malt from Ichiro’s Malt “Card Series,” this Five of Diamonds release was bottled in 2012 after maturation in sherry casks and bottled at 57.7% ABV. Produced from stocks of the now-closed Hanyu distillery, it forms part of the highly collectible playing card series.
Sherry cask maturation brings rich dried fruit, spice and oak depth to Hanyu’s typically elegant, fruit-led spirit, adding layered sweetness and complexity while retaining the refined character associated with this rare Japanese distillery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with mahogany depth and a warm, sun-kissed glow.
Nose
Sherry-soaked on the nose, with rich dried-fruit aromas of prune, fig and raisin. Layered spice—clove and cinnamon—and toasted oak deepen the profile, while a touch of cocoa and orange zest adds subtle sweetness. Elegant, fruit-led and refined, hinting at the complexity to come.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied on the palate, it unfolds with a tapestry of dried fruits—figs, raisins, and prunes—interlaced with spice and seasoned oak. Sherry sweetness deepens the fruit-forward core, while cinnamon and clove add lift, delivering a refined, lingering finish with elegant warmth.
Finish
Long, sumptuous finish infused with warm sherried sweetness and refined spice. Dried fruits—raisins and fig—mingle with cocoa and toasted oak, weaving a velvety warmth that lingers on the palate. Elegant and persistent, with a gentle tannic backbone and a final kiss of spice.
