yet to taste a japanese whisky i haven't been underwhelmed by... IMHO of course
Have you tried the Yoichi 15 or 20 year olds? 20yo has to be one of my favourite whiskies. Also the single casks that I have tasted have been amazing. Problem is almost all of those are £400+!rsbmw said:
Any recommendation for a Japanese whisky aged in plum liqueur barrels? Tried Hibiki 12 recently and t was immense, but impossible to get at a reasonable price now.
As far as I'm aware, Hibiki 12 is rather unique in this respect. Have you tried the plum liqueur itself though? You can buy it from some asian supermarkets, and certainly through The Japan Centre or some online boozeries. The cheap stuff is sweet, but the slightly more expensive has a lovely sweet yet sharp taste.

I had the same problem with the 17 and 21yo bottlings 
https://northandsouthwines.co.uk/products/hibiki-12-year-old-whisky-75cl£190 for the 12 and £500 for the 17. Obviously we dont know if this is wishful thinking or what people are actually paying for it. To think I've got the best part of £1000 (based on those prices) of Hibiki shoved in the garage is amusing to me.
Mind you they're also charging stupid prices for the Yamazaki 12

Well, auction prices show what people are willing to pay for it. Which is £50-70 for the 12yo, £115-130 for the 17yo, £300 for the 21yo and £2000 for the 30yo.£190 for the 12 and £500 for the 17.

So the shop is showing silly prices.

One for the collection maybe, but will decide when the current one is empty.
