this one usually is $79.99 and often out of stock. it's like the 21 year just less mature so less smooth. but it's 80% there. whiskey the higher price ones are at an exponential scale in terms of improvement. the more you age a whisky the less the bad characteristics show up. i've been dying to get my hands on some Suntory Chita. i'm also a fan of suntory hakushu whenever it shows up at costco.
For a good time, make it a Suntory time. - Bill Murray "Lost in Translation" Japanese whiskey
I typically see this bottling at most stores here for about $80 and after having it a few times, I just leave it sitting. Grab a bottle of Balvenie 12 Doublewood for a similar experience for less money and it's almost always available. Cheers
10 years ago, Japanese whisky was a great, affordable alternative to pricey Scotch. But in recent years, because of its trendiness, it's become just as expensive as good Scotch, which kinda defeats the original appeal.
But at this price, it's 100% worth it. (It's a little brighter and lighter than most Scotches, but same ball park style-wise.)
Brand-wise, it comes from Suntory which is not only the largest distiller, but the largest beverage company, period, in Japan. Think if Coca-Cola also made liquor and beer, that'd be Suntory. So it's not some small, artisanal distillery, but because it's a mega-corp the quality control is excellent.
FYI, if you have a beer/wine steward at your local Costco, see if they'll add you to their contact list. Our guy here (SF Bay Area) sends us a message when he has good stuff in.
