What drives this bottle's value

  • Closed / ghost distillery

    Hanyu closed in 2000; its original stock is finite and highly sought after, particularly the Ichiro's Malt 'Card' bottlings.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as SMWS 131.2 Hanyu 13 Year Old, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
