Tucker Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I was a little hesitant to click on that link, but since I'm home I gave it a shot. Love me some Hibiki! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanSheen Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm glad that more of this is coming to the states. Been jealous of Paris who has had a Japanese whiskey bar for the past couple of years.I just got off a cruise where I drank the hell out of Nikka From the Barrel. I like Yamazaki 12 a lot and Hibiki 12 is great too. I have to pick up more of the latter from P/S next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wryguy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Geez, I love the Noiguchi museum, used to go by there all the time when I lived in Queens. I wish I had known about this event, I would have loved to taste the Yamazaki 25 or Hibiki 21. Is there going to be a repeat, and if so when?!? Internet research here I come. Thanks for the link CW.

silverfish Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm glad that more of this is coming to the states. I like Yamazaki 12 a lot and Hibiki 12 is great too. I've had a bottle of the Yamazaki 12 open for a while. It was my first Japanese whisky and I bought it out of curiosity and to fill out an order. It's a bit different but a nice change of page.I haven't sampled much else along those lines but do have a K&L 1999 Karuizawa on the way and am looking forward to trying that one.

Nillion Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'd love to try some, but unfortunately the bar for entry is quite high around these parts: $60 for the basic Yamazaki 12 and Nikka Pure Malt 12. I'm new enough to whiskey in general that there are plenty of bottles substantially less costly than those and from most accounts, better also.
