Hanyu is a distiller located in Japan. Established in 1941, Hanyu has a rich history and is known for its unique approach to whiskey production. The distillery was founded by Isouji Akuto and initially produced sake and shochu. However, in the 1980s, Hanyu shifted its focus to whiskey production. Hanyu is famous for its single malt whiskey, which is made using traditional Scottish methods combined with Japanese craftsmanship. The distillery produces a range of styles, including peated and non-peated expressions. Hanyu whiskey is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts due to its limited availability and exceptional quality. The distillery closed in 2000, making its whiskey even more rare and valuable.
