I've seen bottles recently in SFO, LAX, YVR, JFK, SYD, HKG, SIN, and I'm sure they are in a lot more...

The Peninsula also released an exclusive Ichiro bottling this week, limited to 300 bottles. Not sure how much it's going for but saw some people reselling for $2.5k

How recently was this? From memory I haven't seen any Suntory NAS bottles at HKG or SIN apart from The Chita in at least the past year or so. The 'street price' (as in, any bottle shop in the city) for Hibiki Master's Select is well over 1,000 HKD in Hong Kong.

I don't visit SIN more than about once a month (and never see the bottles any more), but I pass by the duty free at HKG on a weekly basis and haven't seen any Hibiki or Yamazaki NAS since at least a year ago from what I can recall. It's silly really.

This was around December. Quite possible they sell out quickly but they definitely still get stocks.

Good luck on the H17 minis, Park Hyatt Tokyo minibar seems to be the only place I see them now, still not a terrible deal at „3000 after taxes
