This thread is about where to find whiskey in Japan. Extended discussion about where to find Japanese whiskey elsewhere is off topic and will be removed.

That's cold bro! That's cold! Probably partially true tho. When Harmony NAS first came out and it was 3,500 yen and I didn't even bother to waste my time and I will not waste my time at all specially now at 5k-7k yen. I bought H17 and H21 without having second thoughts at 10,000 and 25,000 yen just two years ago. But I have been a big fan of the Nikka 12 from the start when it was around 3,500 yen! Still buying at 6,000 yen now all day!

Great hotel. BiG is only about 3 minutes walk from the Centric, they also have an excellent selection of Bourbon, I'm not an expert on bourbon but I lot of people go there for Blanton's Gold etc. so it should be a good starting point for you. Otherwise hop on the Maranouchi line at Ginza station and head over 1 stop to Tokyo station to check out Hasegawa.

Has anyone tasted or bought the Ichiro's Malt "Maduro" Grand Hyatt release? Limited to 300 bottles, but not sure if it's worth the 63,000 yen price.

Probably not related, but Heinemann duty free at SYD T1 has plenty of Hibiki Master's Select available for A$138 each, or limited edition for A$258 each. (March 2019)
