dramtastic said...: Ok talk about not good value. The 21 sells for around Y10000 and 4 more years multiplies the cost by 5 times!!
This is not to pick on Nikka as Suntory does the same with Hibiki 21 and 30. Also Yamazaki/Hakushi 18 year olds and the 25 year olds.
It makes no sense just on price/age equation, but as the younger versions are very good to excellent why would you bother paying 5 times of much for a few more years?; May 30, 2012 at 6:53 PM
