Hanyu (silent)

(Han-YOU)

Closed in 2000 after almost 60 years of whisky production and what a difference a decade makes as single malt from Hanyu is now as rare as hens teeth and much sought after by lovers of Japanese whisky. The distilleries grandson Ichiro Akuto now owner/distiller at chichibu purchased most of the remaining stock for his rare playing card series of 52 single malts and very little of this distilleries stock is sadly left to bottle.
