Hanyu (silent) Ichiro's Malt - Four Of Hearts Japanese Single Malt Whisky 10 Year Old · 2000 Vintage
Out of stock
A single cask Hanyu from Ichiro’s Malt “Card Series,” this Four of Hearts release was distilled in 2000 and bottled in 2011 after 10 years of maturation in a Cognac cask. Bottled at 59.2% ABV, the release was limited to 361 bottles from the now-closed Hanyu distillery.
Cognac cask maturation adds rich fruit, gentle spice and rounded sweetness to Hanyu’s refined, fruit-forward spirit, complementing the distillery’s elegant character with layered depth. As part of the highly sought-after Card Series, it represents one of the scarce remaining bottlings from this silent Japanese distillery.

Deep amber with copper-bronze highlights and a warm, honeyed gold glow.
Nose
Opulent bouquet of orchard and stone fruits—ripe apricot, peach, and citrus—softened by vanilla and honeyed sweetness, with almond nuances.

Elegant, fruit-forward and layered, it promises a refined, luxurious profile with warm, enduring sweetness.
Palate
Opulent and fruit-forward, with ripe plum and cherry notes underscored by apricot. Cognac-cask maturation adds plush sweetness and gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—driving a warm, rounded palate that reveals layered depth and a long, refined finish.
Finish
Silky, long finish unfolding with ripe fruit and citrus, carried by gentle spice and a warm cognac sweetness; the cognac-layered depth lingers with refined warmth and quiet elegance.
