Following the closure of Hanyu Distillery, Ichiro Akuto, grandson of the founder of the distillery, rescued the remaining stocks and in 2005, created the now legendary 'Ichiro's Malt Card Series', a collection of bottlings from Hanyu's old rescued stocks. Highly coveted for their exceptional rarity and extreme collectibility, the series is a collection of single cask releases featuring one of 52 cards on the label, two jokers and a follow-up release of four cards. Featuring the ‘King of Clubs’, this offering is bottle 334 of 417 and was distilled in 1988 and aged in a hogshead before being finished in an ex-cognac cask. With extremely limited numbers produced of each card, these releases make an incredibly treasured addition to any collection.
