The ultimate realization of liquid gold: Tuen Mun district buys back Yuzuru whisky at high prices.

Paragraph 1: The Legend of Yuzuru and His Irreplaceable Scarcity (Yuzuru: The Lost Distillery)

The story of Hanyu Distillery underpins the unparalleled scarcity of its whisky. Founded in 1941, the distillery began seriously producing Scottish-style single malt whisky in the 1980s. However, due to challenging market conditions, Hanyu Distillery was ultimately forced to cease operations in 2000. More crucially, in 2004, the new owners decided to demolish the entire distillery. While this marked the end of Hanyu's history, it also fundamentally established the absolute finiteness of its remaining spirit—it can never be produced again.

Fortunately, Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of founder Ichiro Hido, rescued the last approximately 400 barrels of precious raw whisky from its fate of abandonment. He subsequently launched the renowned "Ichiro's Malt Card Series" between 2005 and 2014, based on these barrels. Ichiro is not only a guardian of the legacy but also the later founder of the Chichibu Distillery, providing an even stronger endorsement for the Hanyu series.

Section Two: Playing Card Series: Auction Records and Analysis of Key Wines

The "Playing Card Series" is considered the "holy grail" of Hanyu whisky collecting. The series comprises a total of 58 different bottlings (including four rare add-ons), most of which are single cask whiskies, showcasing an amazing diversity of casks such as hog head casks, sherry casks, cognac casks, and extremely rare Japanese Mizunara casks.

• A World Record attests to its Value: A complete 54-bottle deck of playing cards is extremely rare worldwide, with only five or six sets believed to exist. The Hong Kong auction market is a bellwether for Hanyu whisky prices: a complete 54-bottle set sold for a staggering HK$11,890,360 including commission at Bonhams Hong Kong in November 2020, setting a new world auction record for any whisky set.
• The value of top-tier single bottles: The Hanyu series also excels in single-bottle quality. For example, the two final "Joker" releases, especially the Monochrome Joker (only 241 bottles worldwide) , are considered one of the series' pinnacles. Another rare whisky, the 1988 distilled "Ten of Spades," set a record for a single Hanyu bottle at auction in March 2025, fetching $132,910 USD .

Section 3: Market Liquidation Strategies: Tuen Mun Collectors' Response to Market Correction

Despite the phenomenal returns Hanyu whisky has delivered over the past decade, market data strongly suggests that the period of rapid growth may have ended since its peak in 2020, and the market has entered a relatively stable "plateau period." Hong Kong auction data shows that individual bottle prices may experience significant corrections; for example, the price of a certain "Ten of Spades" whisky plummeted by 55% in just two and a half years.

For high-net-worth collectors in Tuen Mun district, this means:

1. No more blindly chasing high prices: the golden age of prices doubling every year may have passed.
2. The necessity of professional authentication: Only collectibles possessing "completeness," "extreme rarity," and **"impeccable provenance"** can enjoy the highest value premium. Wissworld's professional authentication services ensure your collectibles receive an accurate valuation in a transparent and secure manner.

Paragraph 4: Examples of high-price buybacks by Vishwath and Hong Kong dollar exchange rate conversion

We at Vishseer are well aware of the complex valuation differences between different years and different barrels (such as Mizunara casks and cognac casks) within the Hanyu series. Our buyback prices are closely aligned with the latest international market transaction data.

Price Reference and Hong Kong Dollar Exchange (Case Study):

For example, the 1988 "Ten of Spades" from the Ichiro Hanyu playing cards series once fetched a record price of $132,910.

If we use the exchange rate of the day, US$1 = HK$7.8, to calculate:

$$US$132,910 \times 7.8 \approx \textbf{HK$1,036,698}$$

This means that a single bottle of well-preserved Hanyu Rare Single Cask Whisky is worth over HK$1 million in liquid assets. Whisky's buyback offer will be professionally assessed based on the whisky's actual vintage, condition (water level, label integrity), whether it has its original box, and market liquidity, aiming to provide you in the Tuen Mun area with the most competitive immediate cash purchase price.
