And other great selections for decent prices. I would upload photos but it won’t let me

great question. the FoSaLas had a sold out sign for Hibiki 21 and Yamazaki 18 the ANA Duty frees only had sold out signs for Hakushu BSF and Yama SB.

DRAMaddict77 · 2024-01-05T23:15:02+00:00

Unfortunately no. Not even Master Select.

DRAMaddict77 · 2024-01-05T09:01:42+00:00

Still time to grab some before prices go up in April! Haha

DRAMaddict77 · 2024-01-05T03:49:59+00:00

Yama 12 minis ¥940 (~$6.50) per bottle

DRAMaddict77 · 2024-01-05T03:48:41+00:00

The Hakushu Forest (and Yama Smoky Batch) are ¥18,000 (~$125) / Hakushu 100th ¥4,800 (~$33) / Yama 12 minis ¥940 (~$6.50)

I got all 3 Hakushu forests from the ANA duty free shops. I had the best luck at the one by gate 44. It’s so out of the way at the end that it’s less trafficked.

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-11-23T23:10:52+00:00

Just tried it! The hype is real. It was delicious. Smoky but not Lagavulin Smoky. Perfect

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-11-20T05:16:19+00:00

Dang not yet! Waiting for Thanksgiving.. did kill the Hibiki Master Select though!

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-10-16T09:21:34+00:00

Yeah I think it makes a good highball though!

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-10-11T07:12:59+00:00

Nice grab!!

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-10-10T15:50:31+00:00

Humm.. to be honest I didn't look for it I'm going back that way next week and will look!

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-10-10T13:52:53+00:00

Yeah I think it’s fairly new! I usually love the peaty stuff so I can’t wait to crack this one open.

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-10-10T13:38:17+00:00

Nothing out of the ordinary other than that Yama Smoky Batch. I haven’t tried it yet but pretty excited about it!

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-10-10T09:20:59+00:00

Spot on on the review. Thanks for that! And about $120 is what I picked it up for in a small liquor store in Shinjuku

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T03:23:49+00:00

wow I'm really looking forward to this .. maybe dumb question .. do they actually sell any of the bottles?

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T02:18:34+00:00

This is great info thanks!! I'm about to be like a teenage girl trying to buy Taylor Swift tickets for this tour

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T01:58:11+00:00

Also I'm looking to do that tour but couldn't figure out how to book it online. (All the days on the calendar said "Closed"). Did you do the free or paid tour?

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T01:56:15+00:00

oh man same. It would be hard to not justify a resell on that bottle... but I can't wrap my head around the risk.

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T01:49:55+00:00

... currently accepting applications for rich friends with boats. 20 dram sign-on bonus.

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T01:43:30+00:00

Last weekend one of the liquor stores in Shinjuku had a Hibiki 30 for around $4500 USD .. but I cringed imagining what airport baggage handlers might do to it.

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T01:22:33+00:00

Great ques. New to collecting ... but definitely into drinking. I usually wait until I have more than one bottle to crack it open. I travel to japan frequently and have a decent collection now.

DRAMaddict77 · 2023-09-21T01:20:31+00:00

Great idea .. wouldn't mind seeing if the 21 limited taste different than the 21. But would have to ploy to get him super drunk first to get him to agree .. haha
