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.
This bottle was part of a private collection
More detailed information and photographs of this item are available, please contact our Customer Service team.
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.

Send me £180 and I will send you a bottle first thing tomorrow. Surely you believe me, as it's written on the internet. MoM you really are stringing this out for these idiots aren't you? Is this for your own amusement or cheap publicity? (personally I don't care for this bottle, it's one fish in the sea, but my opinion of you as a retailer has sank dramatically for adding to this pathetic fiasco).
Not sure MoM will allow or be happy Let's just say a certain retailer in Scotland has received an allocation that has arrived in their warehouse Also there is another online retailer that is expecting some - normal price
Any chance you can share the love and tell us where from?
You all need to stop hedging your bets on getting a bottle with MoM - they are just dangling a carrot. Plenty retailers out there still have bottles. My bottle purchased on Tuesday came from a delightful retailer £180 No gimmicks ,no strings , no empty promises or raising ones hopes . The flippers can only be insiders,ask yourself guys how can some bottles appear in auction so soon given that you need to have your bottle with them at least 2 weeks in advance, and auction was opened for 2 weeks thereafter .The bottles sold last week in auction at ridiculous prices Do the maths guys ? Yamazaki was released 2nd Feb! Bottles are been kept by the retailers / staff, with one or two allocated to the public to keep everyone sweet with false hopes, and creating this ridiculous frenzy,and demeaning the sheer beauty and enjoyment of whisky.
