Export WT 12YO

[Neat]

just found out i have to go on a biz trip and i'll be flying through narita airport. time to stock up on wt 12yo. WOOO HOOOO!!!! :grin: 2 going and 2 coming back. i bought a couple last year and they are GREAT (not comparing them to US versions of old), especially for the price. i opened one up during my trip and left the unfinished bottle with a friend. brought one bottle back but gave it to a friend as a gift. i just hope they are in stock.:bowdown:

Only WT 8yo when I last flew (November) but the stock does come and go.

Having exhausted the NRT bourbon selection on my flights (with the exception of the late, lamented Makers Black Wax that I bought on every trip and the unloved-by-me IW Harper decanter), I've been trying out the various Japanese whiskies at the counter in the duty-free to the right in Terminal 1. The older Hibikis are excellent and not as pricey as the single malts.

uh oh! when i went in the summer, they had shelves full of the wt 12yo. i'm hoping they restocked since the fall. only redeeming aspect of this trip.

I like the Hibiki 12 a lot and I'm hoping the 17 soon gets exported to US.

It would be nice, but after talking with one of their reps I don't think we'll see much expansion of their line in the US in the near future.

"they" ain't the ones making wt 12yo (or 8yo) only available overseas.

Not a single bottle of wt 8 yo at the domestic duty free. They had shelves of it last summer here in the US when I saw shelves of the 12 and 8 yo in Narita. Crap. Just my luck - I bet they don't have the 12 yo at Narita like one poster observed recently. :smiley_acbt:

I'll be in London later this week. Anyone know if I can buy WT12 there? Or is it only a duty free item?

A buddy of mine went through Heathrow a few months ago. I asked him to grab me a WT 12. He struck out, none to be found.

You can buy the WT 12 in London at the Whisky Exchange near Borough Market.

I didn't see any at duty free in Heathrow several months ago. The Beam Six Grain is also worth a try.

Narita has the 12 yo! Woo hoo! 2 in the bag and 2 more on way back. :grin:

[Neat]

for anyone interested, narita does have the wt 12yo in stock ( -4 now :grin: ). not as many as last summer. REALLY nice way to "suffer" jet lag.:slappin:
