Nice to see Japanese Whisky get some attention. I can find Kaigan 12Y, The Shin 15Y Malt Whisky, and The Shin 10Y Malt Whisky for under $120. But I have never tried these. I have only had Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky, which I find delightful. Cheers!
Yes, Suntory Kakubin is so widespread and cheap. The Nikka 12, now without the age statement, is called The Tailored, which not so much to my liking. The Nikka Black is s good choice for a daily drinker -- $15 US -- and is apparently what one of Nikka's master blenders prefers. Within Japan Akashi has 4 and 5 yo single malt bottles (500ml--yeah I know) that I think are close to being under $100, but they are more outside of the country. In spite of the price rise, I would still recommend at least trying out Nikka Yoichi NAS and certainly Hibiki NAS as well as the Nikka 12 blended of old.
Drink at a 1985 office party 😂 In Australia in 1985, an office party would be mass-produced Australian beer and wine in a box. Can't help you with your question of the day. Did you see Nikka the Grain? Sourced from 4 different Nikka distilleries with 7 different types of grain whisky and blended.
I lament the day Suntory Yamazaki 12 prices became prohibitive. Nikka from the Barrel is a go to blend for me. Ohishi Sherry Cask 8 year old rice whisky can be had for $65 here in SoCal, and it's quite good.
You should have put the Johnnie Walker Aged 12 Years @ 40% abv or something better from Scotland and the Chamber Aged 12 Years @ 53% abv from Ireland both being blended whiskies along side the Nikka Aged 12 Years @ 43% abv for a three way blended whiskey contest

Hibiki Harmony is so good - no longer a bargain but still very nice!

can anyone name the 4 different Nikka distilleries that all make grain??
I should have listed the four distilleries responsible, they are Miyagikyo, Moji, Satsuma Tsukasa and Nishinomiya.
thanks

You can now buy Ki One from Korea at The Whisky Exchange
Thanks!!
Suntory Hibiki Aged 12 and 17 Years, Togouchi Aged 9 Years all blended whiskys from €100 To €110 if they are still available at that price point
suntory hibiki 17 costs over 500€ here in Germany :-(

great idea - but I do not have either of those here
