Cuvée presentation

Single cask (#9031) de Hanyu distillé en 1991, ayant bénéficié d'un affinage en fût de pedro ximenez et embouteillé en 2010 dans la gamme "Ichiro's malt card series". Après la fermeture de la distillerie de son grand-père, Hanyu, Ichiro Akuto décida de racheter les fûts restants avant sa démolition en 2004. Il eut ensuite l’idée d’embouteiller une bonne partie de ces fûts sous forme de single casks en attribuant à chaque fût une carte à jouer. Ce fut, selon Ichiro Akuto, le meilleur moyen pour le public de pouvoir ensuite les identifier et s’en souvenir. Une simple idée pratique donna ainsi naissance à une des collections de whiskies les plus recherchés au monde. La série des cartes se compose de 58 embouteillages : 52 cartes, 2 jokers et 4 cartes qui ont eu droit à un deuxième embouteillage (As de pique, Reine de cœur, Roi de carreau et Valet de trèfle). Le premier embouteillage de la série des cartes a vu le jour en 2005 et la série a pris fin en 2014 avec la sortie des deux jokers. Le joker polychrome est d’ailleurs le seul embouteillage de la série à être un assemblage de plusieurs fûts. Édition limitée à 570 bouteilles.

The distillery Hanyu

Japan, Saitama. Distillery closed and dismantled.

It was in 1941 that the Akuto family, saké brewers for generations, founded its distillery in the small town of Hanyu in Saitama Prefecture. In 1946, Hanyu was awarded a spirit production licence and began producing a grain spirit. In the early 1980s, the family began producing a Scottish-style malt whisky and equipped the distillery with pot stills. From 1983 to March 2000, it somehow supported this activity, but it was far from a commercial success and eventually the family decided to end the practice. The distillery was dismantled in 2004 and the site sold. It was Ichiro, Isouji Akuto's grandson, who bought the stills, along with some 400 barrels of Hanyu single malt in barrel. It was from this stock, covering the period 1985-2000, that the Playing Cards Series was created, a collection of 52 single casks of all ages and styles of maturation. A full set would today be valued at nearly one million euros. In parallel, Ichiro sold a huge number of single casks to his customers and brought to life his dream of building his own distillery, Chichibu.
