In a matter of hours, the bottles were sold out.We’re now proud to introduce the next chapter in the Trinitas range with two new expressions unlike any other you’ll have the chance to purchase this year. Sanmi-Ittai, or Trinitas in Latin, is a tribute to the founders of the Hanyu distillery. These great craftsmen produced \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/japanese-whisky-store\/\"\u003eJapanese Whisky\u003c\/a\u003e that was ahead of its time, and were instrumental in developing the industry into a recognized leader around the world. Each of the bottlings in the Trinitas Series pays homage to blender Shimzaki, blender Inoue and former Hanyu president Mr. Akuto. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eBackground\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, Japanese Whisky struggled to survive. The years it took to age the liquid created cash flow problems, which was compounded by the fact that, at the time, the local Japan market preferred other types of spirits like Shochu and Sake…. The global market was still obsessed with Scotch and Bourbon, leaving \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/distilleries\/\"\u003eJapanese distilleries\u003c\/a\u003e in poor financial condition. The result was that many of these distilleries, which pioneered the Japanese Whisky we know and love today, are no longer around.  [row] \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eHanyu Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most famous of these now silent operations was the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/product-category\/japanese-distilleries-closed\/hanyu\/\"\u003eHanyu Distillery\u003c\/a\u003e.In the midst of war in 1941, the Akuto family built the Hanyu distillery and obtained a license to produce alcohol in 1946. The Akuto family had been in the brewing business since the 1600s and established an outstanding reputation for delivering high quality spirits. After experiencing Scottish single malts, they developed a passion for remarkable whisky and were driven to produce their own, Japanese, single malts. Their efforts pushed Japanese Whisky forward, but the local Japanese market wasn’t receptive at the time. Eventually, Hanyu were forced to close their doors in 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eA Lost Experience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years since their closure, Japanese Whisky has exploded in popularity. The liquid that they struggled to sell has now become some of the most prized in the world. It’s now recognized as some of the best whisky ever produced and enthusiasts have scrambled to find bottles.The huge demand and limited supply has caused prices to soar. At auction, Hanyu bottles often sell for tens of thousands of dollars… Putting those bottles out of reach for all but the most elite collectors. And, even those who can afford these bottles rarely open them. The liquid is locked away in sealed bottles that are never enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eBringing Back The Legacy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we started working diligently with a Japanese bottler to produce a series of expressions that would celebrate the legacy of the Hanyu distillery, and make each of the bottles accessible to more collectors. This process started by taking whisky from one of Hanyu’s remaining casks and using that as the base for blended expressions that would showcase the unique character and traits of the distillery. The blended liquid was then placed into individual casks to age until it was just right and ready for its worldwide debut. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eTrinitas No. 2 - The Legendary Warrior\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second release in the Trinitas series, the Legendary Warrior, celebrates resilience. He is a fitting symbol in the history of Japanese Whisky, as the industry has overcome years of struggle and adversity to become the most prized liquid in the world. Just as the most famous warriors are only celebrated after their death, the Hanyu distillery has risen to new heights of fame after the stills have stopped. This immaculate Sherry Cask release, bottled from cask #5002, bears a beautiful illustration of a Japanese Warrior that will be a powerful force among any whisky collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eTrinitas No. 3 - The Silent Geisha Whisky\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silent Geisha, the third release in the Trinitas series, celebrates humility. In Japanese culture humility is not just celebrated as a virtue, it is a way of life. Arrogance and boasting simply have no place in traditional Japanese conduct. Instead, the Japanese believe in drawing attention to the achievements and accolades of others, even if that means belittling themselves in the process. This characteristic is symbolic of each of the influencers celebrated by the Trinitas series. These honorable individuals were great stewards of humility, always seeking to build up the industry no matter how it impacted their own interests. This outstanding release, bottled from cask #5003, showcases an elegant Geisha that will add a silent aura of strength to your top shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eRemarkable Whisky\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky is a remarkable blend that has perfectly captured the essence and spirit of Hanyu. By having the best blenders in the industry combine original Hanyu whisky with carefully selected malts, the result is spectacular… The three pioneers celebrated by each of these bottles would be proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eReserve Your Bottles Today\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with our commitment to allow more people to put whisky from this notable silent distillery on their shelf, we’re really ecstatic to offer each of these bottles for just $349... or, for a limited time, you can buy the pair for just $598!

The merchant class was growing, and had wealth to spend on entertainments and luxuries. Concerned that their political hold was waning, the Tokugawa Shogunate introduced strict censorship laws banning the representation of kabuki actors, courtesans and geisha. These professions were considered subversive, and a danger to society, as they were seen to promote luxuries that society could not afford.\n\nMasters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style, seeking to protect freedom of expression, found an ingenious way to get around these laws. They illustrated famous courtesans, geishas, and kakubi actors as anthropomorphised animal characters. These prints were hugely popular, often parodying real events and people, and included visual clues to identify the true identity of the subject. There was huge public fascination in the stars of Kabuki theatre and the beautiful courtesans and geishas, and the censorship seemed to only fan the flames of their popularity.\n\n[\/col]\n\n[\/row]\n[gap height=\"50px\"]\n\n[row]\n\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\"]\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.7em;\"\u003eFull of Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe geisha is a Japanese entertainer, skilled at various Japanese arts, such as classical Japanese music, dancing and poetry. A well-respected occupation, which takes months or years to master, at the time of these reforms, geishas were considered a threat to public morals. Our cat geisha draws upon the ukiyo-e woodblock style of art, and is a homage to the artists who used their ingenuity to continue their work through this period.\n\nThe cat, in Japanese culture, has long been a symbol of good fortune. Beginning in the sixth century, Buddhist monks travelling from China to Japan brought domestic cats onboard their ships, as they believed this would bring good luck and would protect the scriptures, relics and drawings they had on board. Cats have since featured prominently in Japanese art, and are highly respected creatures in Japanese culture.\n\n[\/col]\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\"]\n\n[ux_image id=\"323495\"]\n\n[\/col]\n\n[\/row]\n[gap height=\"50px\"]\n\n[row]\n\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\"]\n\n[ux_image id=\"323499\" width=\"91\"]\n\n[\/col]\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\"]\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.7em;\"\u003eSuited to Impeccable Japanese Taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis is a full-bodied dry Japanese red wine from Katashimo, one of the few wineries remaining in Osaka, and one that still maintains conventional winemaking methods to produce wine that that suits the Japanese taste.
