Managed to buy a Yamazaki 12 and a Balvenie 17 under $80 at one point. Try finding either at that price now. Such is life

I think next year I may try and find a Yamazaki, a Hakushu, and a Cita (which I have only found once in the wild and I wasn't prepared to buy anything). I can get Hibiki Harmony easily enough (remember when Costco sold them for $50. Man inflation sucks). That bottle makes an excellent decanter too fwiw. Toki isn't bad by any means, but there are other bottles at that price point I like better.

In the interim Nikka works quite well. I've got Nikka From The Barrel and a Coffey Malt. I'll likely get the Coffey Grain as well (both are lovely, but I think the Malt is sweeter)
