      Possibly. However, price increasing every year! Huge demand and limited supply.

    Lowest price since 2019

  • deltakilo on 16/08/2019 - 20:36

    I managed to score a wee in store (firtst ever) taste of a Japanese whisky the other day. Can't remember the brand but it was very smooth and easier on my palate compared to regular shelf fillers - and cheaper.

  • Samsungnote10 on 16/08/2019 - 20:37

    not working for me

    says 1 item unaviaible for pickup from castle hill
    but when I click delivery it goes up to $300

    • deemanxp on 16/08/2019 - 20:47

      Dan’s will usually set the delivery price to the same as the closest in-store price.

      • Samsungnote10 on 16/08/2019 - 20:48

        it might have sold out as well, It wont let me pick up from Castle hill at the moment

    • danawys on 16/08/2019 - 20:49

      Try local vintage cellars. I manage to get two this morning.

      • Samsungnote10 on 16/08/2019 - 20:52

        yes I have the site open in front of me,

        just trying to use wish cards as a preference, for obviois reasons:)

      Can not checkout, as it is unavailable for delivery. Strange.

    • wondering on 17/08/2019 - 18:38

      How did you pay at Vintage Cellars with Coles giftcard ? I only saw credit card or PayPal choices…. Online or physical store for you ?

    can't buy, too poor

  • mlburnian on 16/08/2019 - 22:17

    Would be cheaper to fly to Japan with a partner and buy a few /s

    • danawys on 16/08/2019 - 22:37

      I heard it’s hard to find any stock in Japan as well. And the price is around $250 plus tax.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/08/2019 - 22:44

      I couldn't find any over there. They don't even sell the non aged Yamazaki at the distillery anymore!

      • danawys on 16/08/2019 - 22:48

        Agreed. It seems to be easier to purchase in Australia.

    • LSGH on 18/08/2019 - 09:14

      nope, whisky drinker here and I been to japan 5x in last six years and I rarely see this, the few times I did, it was priced > A$200. But still, this is still too expensive

  • beanlanda on 16/08/2019 - 23:37

    I'm off to japan next week.-These are scarce and overpriced in Japan too, but there are lots of decent no age statement single malts at reasonable prices. Between my wife and I we will bring back 6 x 700ml bottles for about $250-$300 duty free and enjoy them slowly. Will get another Hakushu single malt, Ok for Nikka Coffey (still) Malt or Grain again, and keen to try some other recommendations from https://www.kotaku.com.au/2018/04/the-best-affordable-japane…
    Probably will purchase at Bic Camera or similar rather than airport.

    • bchliu on 17/08/2019 - 00:50

      Good luck finding it in Japan.. LOLOL.. I went through over a dozen BIC Camera and local liquor stores all around Tokyo to Nagoya and can't find Yamazaki nor Hibiki.
      They've already told tourists they are out of stock.. most likely reserved for premium local customers.

      you cant bring back alcohol period from japan duty free unless you catch a direct flight. bchiiu you didnt try hard enough, i found a deli/liquor shop that had alot of bottles ranging from 12yrs to 25yr hibiki, yamazaki, hakushu and nikkas. well not alot maybe a handful if even of each, this was 3 years ago though. you MIGHT have a chance if you go to very hole in the wall deli the one i went to was very rundown by japanese standards but still clean. locals arent after the stuff and locals were the only ones that ever visited the place. it was in shinjuku of all places.

      • johnno07 on 18/08/2019 - 07:58

        A LOT has changed in the last few years. I bought the non aged Yamazaki for about $60 duty free 4 years ago.

        • Akya on 18/08/2019 - 09:40

          And about 6 years ago I bought non aged Yamazaki not duty free for about $35. I lived there 2010-2015 and heaps of the all you can drink places also had non aged Yamazaki and 12 year Yamazaki as options. Kinda wished I bought more back then.

    • bowtiehoon on 17/08/2019 - 07:30

      I was surprised to see local stores and bic camera cheaper than airport duty free. Something to keep in mind. Japanese whiskey is waaaay overpriced and rated in my opinion. At least my opinion saves me a lot of money :)

    • Shiq1 on 17/08/2019 - 22:21

      Hard to find in Japan now. I was there in January.

      I got a few but paid a premium at 19800 yen tax free at around the 78 exchange rate and they limit purchases to 1 per day per passport

      I found a 25 Yamazaki and 25 Hakushu which I regretted not buying… 498000 Yen / 350000 Yen each per bottle respectively

      Did come home with 6 bottles of Hibiki 21 @69800 Yen each, cleaned out the shelf 3 bottles a day (3 passports 2 days)

      Best tip is to try the bigger dept stores as prices will more likely be "normal" accounting for minor supply/demand pressures. Touristy areas will have stores which sell the full range (including hibiki 17!)but at greatly inflated prices.

    • Akya on 18/08/2019 - 09:38

      Try buying them from Don Quixote - you can get duty free from them very easily and I’ve noticed they’re usually better priced. Don Quixote also lets you buy other random stuff (lollies, kit kats, make up, etc) in the same transaction as duty free.

  • Uvani on 17/08/2019 - 09:02

    It's $299 now?

    • danawys on 17/08/2019 - 09:49

      Castle Hill shows 239.95. Not sure if it’s available for delivery or not.

  • Samsungnote10 on 17/08/2019 - 10:56

    coming up as unaviaaible for pick up from castle hill…
    maybe sold out?

  • Uvani on 17/08/2019 - 11:36

    Just got a bottle from the Ascot Vale store for a price match with vintage sellers $239.
    They have another 40 in stock

    • danawys on 17/08/2019 - 12:25

      Thanks for the update!

  • skittlebrau on 17/08/2019 - 17:54

    Very overpriced and have been for several years now.

    I used to buy these for around $100 each at Dan Murphy's :(

  • submariner on 17/08/2019 - 18:25

    Saw heaps of these and Hibiki 12’s at 7-11’s in Tokyo.

    • Uvani on 17/08/2019 - 18:30

      Don't think so mate. Maybe the NAS distillers but not the 12.

      • nismo on 17/08/2019 - 23:37

        He probably means 3 to 5 years ago. People have no idea, they think times don't change

        It was announced in the news May 2018 while I was in Japan that ingredients to make them had run out, any remaining stock literally disappeared the next day.

  • ripoffmerchant on 17/08/2019 - 18:58

    thoughts on keeping one of these stashed away in the dark for 5-10 years? Price has been going up but probably plateaued now.

    Also unavailable for delivery at this price, price changes to $299 if your delivery postcode is anywhere other than castle hill.

    • danawys on 17/08/2019 - 19:26

      Try local dan murphys stores to see if they can price match with vintage sellers.

  • bambolayo on 17/08/2019 - 20:25

    Overpriced…If you drinking $2000 a bottle of whiskey, it is your logical brain tell you that its a good one, not your tongue…Your brain tries hard to find the positives of the product to justify the cost. How can a 12 year old whiskey be rare?

    • Samsungnote10 on 17/08/2019 - 21:03

      if its not avaiailbe anywhere, its rare, it doesnt have to be quality

      I have a few expensive bottles, and for the price they are , they are not worth it in terms of drinking

      if I was going to buy a bottle to drink and to enjoy the flavour (and not show off to whoever) I wouldnt be touching any japanese ones, the cheaper ones are much better value for money

  • yongiechao on 17/08/2019 - 20:43

    Ordered with Vintage Cellars free delivery. Thank you OP!

  • Gorodemon on 17/08/2019 - 22:02

    What's the hype with Japan's whiskey? Does it cure cancer? Or is it actually the elusive elixir of life?

    • LSGH on 18/08/2019 - 09:24

      Many like the smoothness, and were drinking it when it was only $119 in 2014, most of my friends stopped buying when price went up

    • nismo on 18/08/2019 - 18:31

      Just drink it neat, I'm sure you'll feel the effects

  • sheepdog on 18/08/2019 - 10:13

    I can understand buying this for the rarity but not for taste. When I was in Japan in late 2017, I saw these and Hibiki (I think around the $100 mark but not sure) at a BIC in Tokyo - thought it was common so figured I'd pick one up later in the trip and couldn't find them again.

    For taste, I only really enjoyed the 12 year and older Hibikis - the unlabelled aged ones pretty much tasted like mixing whiskey to me.

  • ajamedor on 18/08/2019 - 18:45

    Had no issues getting this at Mega Donki @ Shibuya (April this year). Still have a bottle in front of me.

    • danawys on 18/08/2019 - 20:04

      How much?

      • ajamedor on 19/08/2019 - 17:17

        I'd like to think it was sub $150 but I can't remember as I bought quite a few different bottles this time round. Definitely below $200 as I was given a 'limit' per bottle purchase by SWMBO. Somewhere between $150-180 I'd believe

        • danawys on 19/08/2019 - 17:25

          Good to know! Thanks for the info.

  • Samsungnote10 on 22/08/2019 - 17:48

    update:
    for some reason delivery is now avaiaible for free anywhere, and doesnt need to be picked up from castle hill,
    Just ordered a few for delivery to VIC,

    this option didnt work a few days ago
