Description
The Hanyu 2000 #362 for The Whisky Exchange is an exceptionally rare single cask bottling from the legendary closed distillery of Hanyu, a name that has become synonymous with exclusivity in Japanese whisky. Distilled in 2000, the final year of production before the distillery’s closure, and bottled as a single malt exclusively for The Whisky Exchange, it captures a piece of liquid history that can never be repeated. Drawn from cask #362 and bottled at cask strength, it delivers remarkable intensity with layers of dark fruit, oak spice, leather and a lingering sweetness that speaks to the depth of Hanyu’s spirit. Its exclusivity lies not only in its character but also in its scarcity: with the distillery long silent and stocks dwindling, each release from Hanyu represents one of the last chances to experience its distinctive style. The 2000 #362 bottling has become a coveted prize for collectors, treasured as both an outstanding whisky in its own right and a historical artefact from one of Japan’s most mythical distilleries.
