Well... yes- lot of LE memang gimmick.
part of marketing/branding.

how good is good- very subjective yeah. By panel of judges? are they indepent?

Anyway- keep or 15 years... as investment as you forsee the the price will go up. yes- they indeed will go up- but like wise the money i can put into investment also it goes up. Put in FD desptie the shitty 3.5% also it will double in value in 15 years.

but keeping whiskey - risk of it damaged, stolen. Keep a few for self indulgence is ok, but dont keep for others la. We would not know what the guest like to drink.

Like time popular brandy... otard/VSOP. now like old people drink
then macallan single malt... but now got some many other brands are out.

Also Japanse Suntory... it was popular and pretty hyped up back then.... now it is very common in japan, so people just goreng the price.

There are few cheaper alternative which i also enjoy.
Tomatin, Balvenie, Mort Lach are pretty decent too.

I have a fair share of collections... just started nothing too impresive.
but feel like collecting is putting rm 2000 at the cabinet, can see cannot drink, and one day my house break in will be GG.

prefer nice bottle that i can open and enjoy on a good day- without breaking the bank and felt too previous to open.

yes- those i more fancy one is in display cabinet.
They are in original packed box so no UV issue. The glass also dark/brownish.

almost all are sub-Rm 2000

Japanse Whisky... can use here as price reference ba.
yeah- not anyone can go Osaka to purchase, but u may see how much mark up any resaler made - and decide if it is worth it.

somemore this place is near shopping district- probably got other places which sell cheaper.

For those lazy to convert....
normal Yama- 350 MYR
Yama 12- MYR 650
Yama 18- MYR 2800
Hibiki 21 -MYR 2500

as i recall- there is another 10% tax rebate on the spot.....
