This thread is about where to find whiskey in Japan. Extended discussion about where to find Japanese whiskey elsewhere is off topic and will be removed.

Alright, I passed through NRT two days ago, and here are the official prices for the limited edition bottles:
Hibiki 21 - 50,000
Hibiki 17 - 20,000
Hibiki 12 - 10,000
Yamazaki 18 - 250,000
Yamazaki 25 - 500,000 (sold out everywhere)
Hakushu 25 - 250,000
Hakushu 18 - 50,000
However, I was extremely surprised to see Nikka 21 Taketsuru priced at 6,000. I'm going to pick up two bottles on my way back home at that price!
I tried the Hibiki 21 on ANA F. It had a bit of a bite to it. Not a fan.

If not hopefully they still have some Nikka 21 - I'd grab 2-3 bottles of that at 6000 yen if still at that price point and available.

As of this morning, Nikka 21 is all gone at FaSoLa stores, and there are 3 bottles left at the ANA Duty Free store. I hope you're flying out of a different terminal. Good luck!

Any updates on the Hibiki 17 in NRT. I am almost out of a bottle that I've loved and cherished, and a friend has offered to find some for me in Japan. 20,000 yen is a bit crazy though.
Thanks!
Thanks!

that seems to be the going rate for it.[added, not specifically at NRT but in the market place around the world]
