I love that God Save the Points is acting like NH serving Hibiki 21 in F is new information. They've been doing it since 2014 (and probably before that but that was the first time I flew them in F). The only thing that has changed is the underlying price of Hibiki 21.

We already know there’s some ridiculous champagne being served in first class, but what about the stronger stuff? For customers paying thousands per ticket, some airlines have curated spirit programs rivaling the most celebrated liquor cabinets on the ground. But it’s hard to compete with one airline, serving one of the rarer whiskies, going for north of $500 per bottle…

ANA first class is a celebrated experience, with some of the best service, food and champagne in the sky. But it’s a hidden in plain sight menu item that’s wowing customers. During a recent trip to Japan, we struggled to source a bottle of Hibiki Suntory 21 Year Old Whiskey. Perhaps that’s due to the bottle winning the International Spirits Competition for the last four years, as well as a place in the “Whiskey Bible”, curated by celebrated whiskey critic Jim Murray.But low and behold, it’s available on all Al Nippon Airways First Class flights. When we say $500 a bottle, that’s if you can find a store which sells it.
