Hibiki 30
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- The 30 was definitely a special experience but (dollar value aside) I’d take two bottles of 21 over one bottle of 30 any day.
- including the Hibiki 30 which was well balanced and rich.
- I love the Hibiki line-up and have tried the full vertical including the Hibiki 30, but I would say a fair price would be about $300.
- I totally agree that 30 is an amazing gem.
Cons
- I was saving up to get a hibiki 30 to round off my collection and then this pops up.
- I have yet to try the 30. But I’d be so hesitant to get a bottle because the price to enjoyment ratio would have me not reaching for it as much.
- Hibiki 30 is $6k in the US. How low can you find it for in Japan?
- Folks tend to gravitate towards things they know or have heard of and would like to try (for instance a post about Hibiki 30) than things they don't
- I saw at least 2-3 hibiki 30 but they are too high in price for tax free as it is priced at 580000.

There are chances where you run into a holy trove in Yamaya (Such as ¥600,000 Hibiki 30s and ¥720,000 Hakushu 25s)
Damn, those are ridiculous prices for a blended, heavily diluted, colored and chill filtered whisky.
