Scored a bottle of Ichiro's malt & grain single cask bottled for Grand Hyatt Maduro for Y45,000. Have not see any reviews about this bottle. Anyone here had tried it? It seemed a ok price given the crazy high prices Ichiro's bottles demand.

Were you allowed to keep the mini bottle or did you have to drink it on the plane?

Honestly pouring out of a mini bottle for F passengers seems kind of tacky especially for a Japanese airline.

Thanks for the feedback! Oh well, I don't know how they sold out at 63,000 yen before taxes then... I guess I can always trade the bottle for something haha.

The Ichiro's hype is real. You got a good deal for sure as it's below what the hotel was charging and I'm sure you can trade it for something nice (and drinkable)
