The Hanyu Casks

a sensory journey through taste, tradition, and innovation

Be Part of an
Extraordinary Legacy

In the two decades, while the former distillery was ‘sleeping’, it’s whisky had global appeal and received a cult following. As the legacy of Hanyu continued to grow, excitement around the new distillery increased.  

In February 2021, the new Hanyu Distillery laid down the first spirit into casks in over 20 years.

Now, a new page in this extraordinary history is waiting to be written by a new generation. 

Hanyu Casks: The ultimate prize for whisky connoisseurs 

Every Hanyu cask is precious. A sensory journey through time, character, taste with a quintessential Japanese touch. Owning a cask of Hanyu Single Malt whisky would be a dream come true for any whisky lover and connoisseur.

Quality and not quantity remains the philosophy at the New Hanyu Distillery.

About 70,000 litres of Alcohol (LA) are now produced annually at the new Hanyu Distillery. That is equivalent to about 560 Hogshead (210L) or 600 Bourbon (195L) casks produced every single year since the distillery was reborn in 2021. In comparison, Macallan is able to produce 15 million litres of alcohol, while Suntory Yamazaki produces 6 million litres per year.

The quality and rarity of Hanyu Casks, alongside its legendary status as the world’s most coveted Japanese Whisky, make the chance of owning a cask truly unique.
