JAL Shopping is selling Salon
JAL is selling a 7-bottle combo of Salon for JPY 1.1M (~USD 10k). It consists of 2 x 2004, 2 x 2006, 2 x 2007 and 1 x 2008. 2008 is a Magnum (1.5 L) and the rest are the normal bottle (0.75 L).
AA was recently releasing its stock of Krug at Admirals Club at a pretty steep discount. Wonder if we will see Salon in JAL's lounge (though I really doubt it).
They are selling only 5 so hurry

It is not a particularly great offer though. Compared to the going rate of Salon in the market. I guess the curiousity item is the 2008, which supposedly is only being bottled as magnums. So that is probably rather hard to come by.
I certainly will not jump on the "offer"

Right. I had initially thought this was an original set by JAL using their excess stock of Salon, but turned out the same thing is available from other online stores for less. Surprisingly, this is already out of stock on JAL Shopping.

This package is actually the only way to buy the 2008, which is supposedly one of the best vintages ever produced. They only bottled 8000 magnums and packaged them with the 750ml bottles of prior vintages. They can be found online elsewhere for $7500-$10000.
unless someone purchases one of those cases and then breaks it up to sell the individual 2008 vintage, you won’t be able to buy it on its own.
