Hanyu 1988 Jack of Diamonds - #9103

Another Hanyu from the "cards" series. This time it's the Jack of Diamonds. Distilled in 1988 and bottled in 2008. 56% vol. alcohol. It's aged (or finished?) in a French oak Cognac cask.









  • Nose: Raisins, oak, some light glue, some light smoke, earthy, heavy sweet ripe apple
  • Mouth: Oak, light tannins, juicy tobacco, grapes, raisins, earthy
  • Finish: Short-medium long, light tannins, oaky, raisins and pears, earthy, honey, fruity

Comments: Something about the congac finish throws this off balance. The componets on its own are quite good It lacks finesse and harmony

85 points

    Hi Michio,

    Stefan of Nonjatta (and Tokyo Whisky Hub) here. We were thinking of writing a short post on Nonjatta to introduce your blog. Could you send me a private message at tokyowhiskyhub "atmark" gmail "dot" com, to discuss this?

    Cheers,

    Stefan
