Was wondering if anybody here been to the Ginza Duty Free shop where you can place an order and collect it from the airport duty free? Are the chances of getting a bottle higher?

I am looking at either the Yamazaki 12 or Hibiki 12.

I will be heading to the distillery in the Kansai region but will not be buying a bottle there as it will be too troublesome as I move between cities.

Any inputs are well appreciated!
You can not buy either of those at the distillery. Taste, yes. Buy, no way. The gift shop is a relic of what it once was. You should buy the single malt 300ml bottles and the limited editions at the w shop in osaka.

I only stumbled across some hibiki 17 today. I'll have to suck up the 11800 price. Not sure if they givetax free.
