I agree with Sku and hope more Japanese Whiskeys are made available in the US, especially the Yoichi, Nikka, Hakushu, and Ichiro's Malt. I had a friend who was stationed in Japan for 2 years and said they produce some the world's best whiskys. I can’t wait to try it.

Maybe in the future? Neil, I would imagine you should look where you currently find Suntory Yamazaki single malts. John M, we’re not getting the 17–or any of the older marks. Maybe in the future?

It was very nice, but not as good as the 17, in my opinion. Well worth trying, though. I tried the 12 not so long ago. It was very nice, but not as good as the 17, in my opinion.

I'm in NY and have tried Hakushu 12 and a number of Yoichis and Karuizawas. But it'd be nice not to have to order from the UK....

Maybe some of the other Japanese spirits companies will start to see the US as a market. I'd love to be able to get Hakushu, Yoichi, Hanyu and other Japanese whiskies without having to send someone to japan. This is great news!

I will keep my fingers crossed that you get the superb Hakushu as well. I have reviewed this already on the TWE Blog, will post a link after John has done his review.
