Hanyu (silent) Ichiro's Malt - Jack Of Clubs Japanese Single Malt Whisky 15 Year Old · 1991 Vintage
Out of stock
A single cask Hanyu from Ichiro’s Malt “Card Series,” this Jack of Clubs release was distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2006 after 15 years of maturation in a sherry cask. Bottled at 56% ABV, the release was limited to 330 bottles from the now-closed Hanyu distillery.
Sherry cask maturation adds rich dried fruit, spice and oak depth to Hanyu’s elegant, fruit-forward spirit, complementing the distillery’s refined character with layered sweetness and complexity. As part of the highly sought-after Card Series, it represents one of the scarce remaining bottlings from this silent Japanese distillery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany undertones, a warm, sherry-kissed glow that promises richness.
Nose
Sherry-draped and fruit-forward, the nose unfurls with prune, fig and raisin, touched by apricot. Warm spices—clove, cinnamon, nutmeg—spiral over toasted oak, with a treacled sweetness and cocoa undertones lending depth. Elegant, refined, and inviting, hinting at the 15-year maturation in a single sherry cask.
Palate
Full and sumptuous on the palate. Dried fruits—raisins, figs, prunes—are met by warm spice (clove, cinnamon) and polished sherry oak. A creamy, viscous texture carries layered sweetness into cocoa, dark fruit, and a long, resonant finish.
Finish
Long, velvety finish layered with rich dried-fruit sweetness—raisins, fig and plum—interwoven with warm spices and toasted oak. Sherry depth lingers, unfolding cocoa and almond notes before fading to a refined, softly dry resonance.
