Tasted at Bar Kitchen (Fukuoka, Japan). This is a special 2017 bottling for Bar Mash Tun in Tokyo. It is a blend of approximately 70% Hanyu 1991 single malt and 30% Kawasaki 1982 single grain. There were only 100 bottles in the release; and I was lucky enough to be able to taste this before it was all gone!
