Noticed those damn Shield agents drinking either a bottle of Yamazaki or Hakushu on last nights episode.

I was told by a local store owner..some stores get 1 bottle yamazaki 18 a month only.
That said ana lounge at haneda had Hakushu 12 and was served hibiki harmony on ana.
Don't go to the liquor stores. Go to BIC Camera or Yodobashi Camera dept stores. Much better chance of finding stock.

I had good luck at the Ginza BIC Camera, and I eventually found a Hibiki 18 at Yurakucho Hankyu.

Had the Hibiki 21 on board ANA, I kinda liked 18 better. Hakushu a little peaty/smoky for me.

Plenty of stock right now of Taketsuru 17 and 21 at department stores around Nihonbashi in Tokyo. At least when i was there 2 days ago. Didn't see a single bottle of aged suntory product anywhere except for a couple 50ml bottles of Yamazaki 12 at Liquor Hasegawa.

Came home with this guy to add to the collection:

Also-- toured the Kavalan Distillery in Taiwan. Honestly, found most of it ok, nothing great. Except for the Fino. It's wonderful.

so i ended up at NRT, and guess HIbiki 17 stock was replenished..











guess im done buying Japanese whiskey for a while. maybe save up for hibiki 21-30 or yamazaki 25 etc. saw them going for about 25000 yen.
Plus need to buy more shelf space. bottles like glenmorangie or 1l duty free
bottles dont fit.

:P
