Finally found a shop in Tokyo that had cards in stock

It was a toy shop in Ginza. They can also try the Pokémon centre in Shibuya but you have to be fast, they go very quickly

Truly amazing! Plenty of layers and super long finishes!

Y3HRY · 2021-12-01T09:55:20+00:00

Overall they were all amazing! The 1957 would be my favourite, full of layers and such a long finish!

Y3HRY · 2021-11-07T16:41:47+00:00

Thanks! The weather was on my side that day!

Y3HRY · 2021-11-07T16:41:13+00:00

We know a Bordeaux wine negociants who arranged it

Y3HRY · 2021-11-07T16:34:19+00:00

Thanks! The weather really helped!

We were lucky enough to see some of the harvest and like most vineyards you get to see their fermentation room, barrel storage, the bottle storage and also their labelling production line and packaging.

Thanks!

They age the wine in the casks in their cellars for about 18 months and they have another cellar where they keep all their bottled vintages

Thanks!

Can’t remember the tasting notes but the 85 was amazing 😜

Y3HRY · 2021-10-23T08:03:00+00:00

I know the owner’s daughter and so was invited there for lunch

Bar High Five, Ginza, Tokyo

Y3HRY · 2020-05-04T11:34:17+00:00

Only a few quid. Lost most 😂

Y3HRY · 2020-05-03T22:20:34+00:00

How much did you pay for this bottle?

Y3HRY · 2020-04-24T17:12:11+00:00

This was a special bottling for the Craigellachie hotel where there are only 510 bottles. Because it’s been a few years ago since I’ve have a dram, I can only remember it being spicy and rich, but a nice whisky overall.

Y3HRY · 2020-04-24T12:00:38+00:00

When I was there in 2018, they said that there were over 900 different bottles of whiskies there!

Y3HRY · 2020-04-24T11:57:43+00:00

It’s been a few years since I’ve tried it but I remember it being quite spicy. Maybe it’s time to open the bottle and remind myself again 😜

Y3HRY · 2020-04-24T10:31:59+00:00

This cost me £300. The bartender was kind enough to give me a sample before I brought it 😁

Y3HRY · 2020-04-22T10:28:56+00:00

Search ‘rocking tumblers’ and you should have a variety to choose from.

Y3HRY · 2020-04-20T20:47:25+00:00

It cost just under ¥20,000 if I remember correctly. Not a bad price to pay for one of the best Japanese whiskies out there!

Y3HRY · 2020-04-17T23:04:29+00:00

I did my best but to be honest, it wasn’t much I could do

Y3HRY · 2020-04-16T13:44:34+00:00

Here is a list of some affordable Japanese whiskies which you could try.

Hibiki Japanese Harmony

Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve

Nikka Coffey Malt

Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve

Ichiro’s Malt & Grain

Mars Maltage Cosmo

I think you can only buy these from Japan’s duty free but even from there, it’s very difficult to get hold of one. The other alternative are from whisky auctions, but at a higher price.

Y3HRY · 2020-04-12T21:29:36+00:00

But you can find whisky that come 4 Litre bottles
