I'll just bring my "Wine Diapers" in that case and pack them nice and tight in my checked bag.
All US bound flight has special secondary security and they specifically say no duty free alcohol

Ya, and be frank, I would try some exotic ones. Mejiro Tanakaya (cash only) is an awesome whiskey shop that you should pay a visit (

信濃屋 is also a nice place to find whiskey. I like their Shinjuku branch (
