Dourbalistar, I just bought/acquired a bottle of pure Nikka Unobtainium... yes, a bottle of "From The Barrel". The local liquor store I've patronized for the last 40 something years held a bottle for me, swore me to secrecy, told me not to tell anyone that they sold a bottle too me... and, there was no price gouging!
So, keep this a secret between me and you! Okay?
All the best,
Mike

@Yokosuka_Mike, kanpai! I actually bought that bottle from Japan in 2016. It seemed readily available on shelves in Japan, but at that time wasn't available in the US. I believe there are some arcane liquor laws that prevent importing 500mL bottles of distilled spirits. They now import this to the US, but in a larger, less proportional 750ml bottle.
At any rate, Nikka Whisky From the Barrel also seems to have lost the ability to call itself "Japanese" whisky:
Nikka Whisky From The Barrel – No Longer “Japanese Whisky”
A couple of weeks ago, Nikka Whisky From The Barrel – one of the world’s best selling Japanese whiskies – lost its ability to actually call itself a “Japanese Whisky”. Yep, you read tha…

Dourbalistar, I bought a couple bottles of the Kavalan Classic Single Malt Whisky the last time I was in Taiwan (a few years ago). Excellent stuff! A superb world class whisky! I bought from Duty Free, if I ever go back to Taiwan I'd love to tour the distillery.
All the best,
Mike

The local heritage railway had a "whisky train" sampling English whiskies (they were not good, TBH.) Took the opportunity to play with a WINTU for the first time. Definitely not the easiest thing to use, but surprisingly more effective and usable than I thought it would be:

@Yokosuka_Mike, the distillery is located in Yilan County, a little over an hour outside of Taipei by car. You can reserve a free distillery tour 7 days before your visit on their website, and I believe there's also a self-guided tour. The entrance is just below this sign for Distillery #1.

I remember adverts for a 90 degree ‘stealth’ mirror hood accessory to fit to your slr, back in my youth. I’m sure that an iPhone is now stealthier

I barely drink whisky these days - not for any reason really, I still like malts - but a few years ago I took my father in law to visit a famous distillery on Islay and we started the 1030 tour. Within 2 minutes we bumped into the head distiller, who is a renowned stalwart of the industry and a genius, and he invited us into the bonding warehouse where we had a ‘tour’ of the stock. Needless to say, the rest of the day was quiet but a real treat and a privilege.
