HANYU - Millésime 2000 - Ichiro's Malt 15 years - The Final Vintage of Hanyu - Bottled 2015 - 46.5%

Ichiro’s Malt is an independent Japanese whisky bottling company. It was created by Ichiro Akuto, in a modest location in Chichibu, a town 100 km northwest of Tokyo, with only two small stills. Akuto’s education in whisky distillation came from the family business. His grandfather was originally a distiller and manager of a sake brewery, the Hanyu Distillery, founded in 1625, before he obtained a distiller's license to produce whisky in 1941. The father of Akuto continued the work his grandfather had started and his passion for whisky led him to purchase two stills from Scotland that could produce around 400 casks. In 2000, the economic decline in Japan and a decrease in sake consumption forced the family to sell their business. However, Ichiro Akuto turned this potential crisis into an opportunity and bought the stills and maturing whisky casks from the new owners of the brewery.

Today, Ichiro Akuto continues to implement the techniques learned over many years at the Hanyu Distillery and is one of the most ambitious Japanese distillers in business. Some 4,000 casks of Sherry, Wine and Bourbon are currently maturing, while he has started experiments to grow barley locally, in the hopes of producing a truly Japanese whisky.

This Single Malt Whisky is from the Hanyu Distillery in the river side town of Hanyu on the Tone River. The distillery was surrounded by barley and paddy fields and was making malt whisky following the Scottish way. It stopped distilling in 2000. The potstills and other equipment for whisky were dismantled in 2004 because the ownership changed hands, however the stocks and facilities were saved by the founder’s grandson. He rebuilt the distillery and started production in 2008, the name of the distillery is called Chichibu.

The Final Vintage of Hanyu is a 15 years-old Single Malt, and 3,710 bottles have been produced.
