With the 2013 release having been named World Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2015, this is a hugely anticipated release of Sherried Japanese whisky. Just 5,000 of these sought-after bottles will be available worldwide.

Our original allocation of this was split between a 3cl dram lottery [4 bottles' worth], a bottle lottery [1 bottle] and an auction (where everything over RRP went to charity) [1 bottle]. Why all the fuss? Read more on our blog.
Raisin, sun-dried tomato, clove, cocoa.
Deep, rich, sweet and sour, chocolate with hazelnuts.
Long, bittersweet, sour.
Deep richness, mellowness and complexity of flavours.
The only thing really correct for a trader in this situation is the 'principle' of equality of its customers. (No discrimination on the basis of their pocket depth.) For this reason I recommend you: 1. to keep stopped the price ($ 300); 2. to enable all interested customers to join the lottery; 3. To whom will be drawn you will give the opportunity to buy the bottle at its real price ($ 300). Without any increase. I am sure it is the only successful way, and, at the same time, I'm sure this way will eliminate our negative comments about the auction solution.
Those who have tasted it says is not as good as the version 2013. Too taste of tomato. Do we need to make pizza? No. Rather, I would pay $ 1,000 less for the King Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013. -1 participant to this unhappy auction...
Yes....we all know it is going to be a good bottle. Yes it will become an instant collectors piece. If it means THAT much for you to have it... purchase it at Dekantä for a $3600 price tag. If you use their 10% coupon code it comes out to $3060. Even tho it is a crazy makeup price, wait till you see what it hits in the future. Or take your chances here..... Good luck everyone! Btw for that price point , I would rather commit to a Port Ellen that will be gone forever with a few more batches. Johnny
After the BTC debacle, kudos for trying a lottery. I commend your efforts to give more people a fair shot at this release.
it all favours the rich
