Just received word about 40 minutes from posting this and stopped by my local in Bay Area, CA. Looks like they have about 30's on hand in select warehouses.
If you're in the Bay Area, there's stock in Hayward, Redwood City, South SF (i think SFO), Almaden, and Automation.

Just had my friend try the Hibiki for the first time yesterday. He actually loved it and thought he wouldn't cause he's a tequila guy.
Me, I'm a Hibiki guy through and through. Did a blind taste test and always picked Hibiki over the other 2. So you might like Hibiki right now. I will say, I would only buy a Hibiki 17 yr for the bottle not for the taste as its not much discernible from the NAS (Harmony).

$100 is a good price for Yama 12 in my books. Well below the market value from private sellers

I am new to this treasure hunt and would love to get my hand on 1 of the Yamazaki.
I just saw a few Hibiki Harmony in Costco (Orange County, SoCal) last week (before they ran out).
Thanks guys.

They have been out of Yamazaki for a long time, some Costcos will get a bottle or two near Christmas time for holiday special, but that's about it.
They had Hakushu 12 (as highly regarded as Yamazaki 12) until around Sept/Oct 2019, and then it's been OOS since, and now the only Suntory I see is Toki, which according to someone I spoke to is a $15 whisky selling for $30-40, and the Hibiki is a $70 whisky selling for $40 ish.
The 12 years or older Yamazaki/Hakushu are harder to get, and I have been seeing the non-aged ones (simply Distiller's Reserve) going for $80-90 lately.
I was able to score a Hakushu 12 and a Yamazaki 12 for $100+ tax each.
Now, I'll be looking for a Yamazaki 18. What's the ideal price range for this?

Which Costco was that? Thanks.
