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.

To the comments below asking us to stop whining: "Money talks" are you serious? Who do you think you are Gordan Gekko? The retail price that Yamazaki set does matter. It's the true market rate and respected retailers are DUTY bound to adhere to them. Any that don't should have future allocation blocked. THAT is how the real world works! And as for good causes etc Give me a break. I walked 970 miles in 35 degree heat last year for charity. Three years before that I did the West Highland Way. I also pay online to WWF. I don't need dictated too by anyone else about giving to some unspecified charity when making an online purchase! The lottery system is fair (that's how 100% was allocated by retailers in Japan) the rest is a farce! Glad MoM are half seeing sense. Hope the rest get their knuckles rapped by Yamazaki for the utter shambles that has unfolded these last few weeks...
I'm out, so one less to concern for the lottery/auction . To those who care, scotch come from Scotland, and there is a great variety, for a great price. If you complaint so bad, is over price, etc., don’t buy it. UK customers Only, RELLY, you must be a JOKE, can be take your comment for real. Master of Malt sales to the word, NOT JUST TO UK. One more thing, you complainers want to buy that bottle so bad...
Seriously most of you sound like spoiled children. Splitting allocation between a charity (supporting worthwhile causes) and a lottery is fair and equitable. You guys clearly haven't seen how many other retailers have just instantly started selling their stock for double, triple, even 10x the recommended retail price. Well done to MoM for their model. (Just wish they'd hurry up with it! Surely they have the stock now.) Also for those saying this should be UK only - haha. MoM are a well-respected International retailer and would lose a lot of credibility doing so.
Life's not fair. Get over yourselves everyone. So much whining and whingeing, some people on here sound like complete BABIES. Mummy, I didn't get what I wanted today. Waaaahhhhhhh!! Listen to yourselves. All this rubbish about rich people getting priority. That's LIFE. Money talks guys, if you want this bottle you gonna pay the market rate which has absolutely nothing to do with whatever release price Yamazaki have decieded on.
This way everyone can get a taste and lock out all the secondary market punters!
