It was good, supposedly the last batch or something like that, they used all 13+ year MGP barrels but then proof it down to 100. The price is great on those and I might be tempted to snag one if I see it but it wasn't mind blowing enough to go chase one down, not the same way some other higher aged MGP single barrels have rocked my socks

I found two bottles at my navy package store yesterday for $20. TO me it tastes just like Blanton's for a fraction of the price

I enjoy the Hibiki, I was fortunate to be able to try some very expensive Japanese whiskies before they became popular and prices launched through the roof. Some of the most unique and best produced I have ever had.

Where I am, that bottle is like $120. I snagged it for just under $80

Question...

Since I am getting a couple bottles lately and most are new to me... How do you store them? I really want to try them all but I am worried about opening up multiple bottles. I do not drink daily...although I might just have to.

I keep mine (opened) in a kitchen cabinet to keep them out of the sunlight. Unopened are all in the basement (out of sight out of mind). In general keep them out of sunlight and upright and you are good. I have heard some say wet the corks once a month.

Opened bottles only become an issue when they are less than half full. Too much empty space in the bottle starts to affect the juice.

Have you thought about decanters?

Any thoughts on 10yr Rare Eagle?

What does that solve, still opening the bottle?

Please school me, I know nothing about decanters.

Bourbon decanters have a stopper so nothing evaporates plus they look cool. Unlike wine you don't have to worry about oxidation. Like others have said light and heat are the enemies. Hence a liquor cabinet is great for the decanters. Don't use lead crystal though. Not sure if that answered your question lol.

It does. I keep them out of light already and I'm not a heat fan. I was more concerned about opening multiple bottles when it's takes me a bit to finish them.
