Hanyu 1991 Two of Diamonds Ichiro's Malt "Cards" series

Hanyu 1991 Two of Diamonds is one of the most coveted releases from Ichiro Akuto's legendary Card Series, a collection that has achieved near-mythical status among whisky collectors worldwide. Distilled at the now-closed Hanyu Distillery in 1991 and bottled in 2008 from single cask #9412, this rare expression was matured in a Hogshead before receiving a finishing period in a Bourbon Barrel, resulting in exceptional complexity and elegance.

DETAILS & COLLECTIBILITY

As part of the renowned "Cards" series, each bottling represents a unique playing card, with the Two of Diamonds being released in an extremely limited number of bottles. The series was created using the remaining casks rescued from Hanyu following the distillery's closure, making every release a finite piece of Japanese whisky history.

Highly regarded for its rarity, provenance, and significance within the evolution of modern Japanese whisky, the Two of Diamonds remains a cornerstone bottle for serious collectors. Demand continues to be driven by the global appreciation of Hanyu's lost stock and the enduring prestige of the complete Card Series, which is widely considered one of the most important collectible whisky sets ever produced.
