This project is now defunct, making any bottles with this label discontinued single casks. Distilled in 1987, spanning from the late Showa era to the early Heisei era, the whisky matured in the cask for decades. Given the naturally limited outturn of single casks and their gradual consumption over time, market circulation will only decrease year by year. For current owners, this scarcity itself underpins their negotiating power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHakushu 1987 Single Cask Brand Background and Buyer Concerns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of Hakushu's craft characteristics is its use of multiple still shapes and wooden (rather than stainless steel) fermentation tanks, which allow the whisky to retain more layers from natural microorganisms. It belongs to the category of \u003cb\u003eJapanese single malt whisky\u003c\/b\u003e, with a signature fresh, foresty character. Some versions feature a light peaty note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the market, after the discontinuation of Hakushu 12 Year Old in 2018, its secondary market value rose. Older expressions such as the 18 Year Old and 25 Year Old have long been difficult to find. Early single casks from the 1980s, due to their limited existence, have become a core target in the collector's market in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHakushu 1987 The Owner's Cask Product Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrand \/ Distillery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHakushu \/ Suntory\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eThe Owner's Cask (Custom single cask, now discontinued)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDistillation Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e1987 (Transition year from late Showa to early Heisei)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJapanese Single Malt Single Cask (Cask Strength)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYamanashi Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eForest notes accompanied by green apple and citrus fruit aromas, Hakushu's signature delicate smoke and refreshing mint; on the palate, sweet honey and vanilla notes transition to oak spice and subtle peat; a long, warm finish.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarket Status\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eExtremely limited single cask bottling, decreasing circulation year by year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Factors Affecting the Resale Value of Hakushu 1987\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssessment Item\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Deductions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eOuter Box and Accessories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOriginal wooden box, lining intact, year consistent with bottle label.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWooden box missing or damaged, affecting valuation.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eLabel Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFront and back labels and signature clear, no fading, water stains, or tears.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSlight yellowing is acceptable; severe damage will reduce value.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eFill Level and Seal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFill level maintained at a high neck position, seal intact and not oxidized.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEvaporation, damaged or oxidized seal.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eBottle Glass\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo scratches or cracks, natural sediment at the bottom is normal.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGlass scratches, cracks.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSteps for Verification Before Hakushu 1987 Single Cask Transaction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eGet an estimated price for Hakushu 1987 Single Cask\u003c\/b\u003e: Take clear photos of the front, back label, fill level, seal, and box certificate.
