Ya, I haven’t had an age statement for Hibiki but I’ll take your word for it. I have several nice Nikka, 17, 21, etc and they are going up now too.
My wife is Japanese, and I spoke to my in-laws about the Japanese whisky pricing here in the US. As they explained, the supply is drying up for the aged stuff so they are keeping it in-country. Hibiki is hoarding what they have in anticipation of the tourists for the 2020 Olympics.
