I was a bit intrigued about the 15 yo Karuizawa, though, as it seemed rather cheap at JPY 5,250. Would you know more about this bottling? Pardon was the only store where I came across a Karuizawa.Pierre Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894803262338280739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-53331542488680058722011-10-28T17:08:56.713+09:002011-10-28T17:08:56.713+09:00Hi Pierre, nice to hear from you.

In my opinion the store is impressive, in the sense that it is the only store I have seen so far that stock Karuizawa and Mars expressions. A lot of stores in Kobe tend to stock a lot of Suntory and Nikka and not the aforementioned, so for me, having these expressions available made this store impressive to date. They be be readily available in other parts of Japan but fairly scarce to come across in Kobe. Glad you got a good bottling, I have not tried the 15 yo Karuizawa expression myself yet.- Clint Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473933963199033747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-83994365782527226692011-10-28T16:53:47.686+09:002011-10-28T16:53:47.686+09:00Dear Clint, I am currently on a two-week holiday i...Dear Clint, I am currently on a two-week holiday in Kobe and checked out the Nishi Kobe shop today. Their selection of Japanese whiskies was not as impressive as I had hoped but they do stock a few gems as you correctly said. Today I bought a 15 yo Karuizawa original distillery bottling. Thank you for introducing this place!Pierre Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894803262338280739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-32501382537049824902011-10-12T18:44:19.104+09:002011-10-12T18:44:19.104+09:00Thanks Brian.

Will be doing that soon though.- Clint Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473933963199033747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-69940971641683461872011-10-12T17:33:52.369+09:002011-10-12T17:33:52.369+09:00Nice Clint.
