Hanyu (silent) Ichiro's Malt - Nine Of Clubs Japanese Single Malt Whisky 20 Year Old · 1991 Vintage
Out of stock
A single cask Hanyu from Ichiro’s Malt “Card Series,” this Nine of Clubs release was distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2011 after 20 years of maturation in a bourbon cask. Bottled at 57.3% ABV, the release was limited to 238 bottles from the now-closed Hanyu distillery.
Bourbon cask maturation adds vanilla sweetness, gentle spice and oak structure to Hanyu’s elegant, fruit-forward spirit, complementing the distillery’s refined character while allowing its delicate malt and fruit notes to remain prominent. 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-gold with sunlit honey hues and a coppery glow.
Nose
Vanilla sweetness from the bourbon cask mingles with toasty oak and a gentle spice, framing Hanyu’s delicate malt. Fruit-forward notes of apple, pear and citrus rise, with subtle praline hints and a restrained, elegant finish on the nose.
Palate
Opulent and full-bodied, it unfurls vanilla and caramel from the bourbon cask with warming spices and a subtle oak backbone. Fruit-forward notes of apples and citrus mingle with delicate malt, leading to a long, refined finish where sweetness lingers amid oak and spice.
Finish
Elegant, long finish infused with bourbon-era vanilla and caramel, underscored by gentle spice and oak. Delicate fruit lingers as the malt stays bright, finishing in a warm, refined, lightly tannic kiss that lingers gracefully.
