From a Champagne aficionado, thanks for writing such an the excellent trip report! It's a great balance between text and photos and obviously the result of much work. ^

What happened to the nice single malts and the nice blended ones?
Both Thai and Lufhansa had Johnnie Walker Blue for example.
Did you actually get to try the Suntory Hibiki 21yr? It's actually a phenomenal whiskey that's (in my opinion) on the level of any top blend (and I acutally prefer it to JW Blue label). I really wouldn't consider it an inferior offering.
