    I recommend you order it when one of your rich friends is buying the round.

    Thinking of buying something for my friend in UK who likes drinking, so decided to choose something Oriental. Wonder if Yomeishu is OK ?
    that's not very whisky... its a herbal alcohol generally gifted for more elderly or ladies that just gave birth.. at least at where i was from

    Any time I see Suntory metioned, I think of this:

    Hi guys! If I buy a bottle of Nikka from the Barrel, do I need to declare it at the customs in UK ?

    Don't want to make a new thread for this since the odds are pretty low but does anyone know anyone or any shop where I could sell some bottles of Japanese whisky?

    I have a Hibiki 21 years (special bottle? Mt Fuji) and 30 years (Arita Yaki) and also 2 Nikka Taketsuru 25 years.

    I picked one up at an East Coast Supermarket over the festive season. I think it was around $45.

    Since the big win in 2014 they have probably had a surge in demand

    I know nothing about whiskey but am thinking about alternative investments. What do you guys recommend? I've heard of yamazaki....what else are good?

    Very Good. I don't often drink whiskey as I prefer less but better approach. This kept me warm for a few nights.

    There are whiskey funds that you can buy into.
