Gf spotted H21 last Friday at a Roku display at Narita T2. Should have had her pick it up for me. I had no such luck today. Picked up my preordered Nikka 12 and a bottle of Master select for 10k yen. I did find a bottle of Hakushu 18 for 50k but passed. Did the sampler of Y18, H18, and H21 at the suntory whiskey house last week and enjoyed the hibiki the most by far.

Can a 20 year old bring a bottle of whiskey (duty free or checked bag) NRT-IAH-MIA? I’m sure the answer is no but am hoping to have son bring some back for me.
Alternatively, does anyone know if PEK has any Japanese whiskey?

I can tell you one thing though: definitely not in PEK duty free, it may be available in some shops in the city, but it will be crazy expensive.
(here's sample pricing in China: approx. US$1160 for Yamazaki 18, $400 for Yamazaki 12, $180 for Yamazaki NAS.)

Folks,
Let’s try to stay on topic (where to find Japanese whiskey in Japan) and refrain from commenting on the provenance of specific bottles, requests to buy/sell/trade whiskey, etc.

Redditor u/PK430 scores Taketsuru 17 for 8860 and T21 for 16500 in random liquor stores near Toyama.
Unrelated: Y12 restock has hit norcal. Nabbed three bottles at $115+tax from Bevmo. Already polished one off.
