Nikka Super rare old

Thanks, is this stuff typically for sale at their liquor stores or is it something I would have to search for
Also how much can I ship over without causing any red flags at customs

Also do I present the bottles at high end sushi and japanese food establishments and come to an agreement with the owner/manager?

I just googled that they're discontinuing some of these brands
should I buy as much as I can and sit on them?

Do what I do and charge 4.5x the markup, call it alcohol custom duties, importation fees etc.
And those always get sold out, making them almost impossible to buy outside of Japan.
If you want high pay-off get the following:
Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013
Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2014-to-2018
Yamazaki 12
Hibiki Harmony
Hakushu Paul Rusch
Nikka Coffee Grain Whisky
Yoichi Single Malt Moscatel Wood Finish
Moon Glow First Release
Karuizawa Emerald Geishas
Le Papillion series by Mars Shinshu

thanks for the list I will start doing more research
my best friend's brother and his wife live in japan his wife being born in japan
those are insane margins 4.5x but I understand there is risk and time and scarcity in going through with this whole process
I'm going to start with ~$1,000 worth and see how it goes

Outside of Japan, anything Brora, Port Ellen, MacAllan Fine oak, Balvenie & Bowmore you can sell fairly easily

those bottles are perty

Try to get the 10/12 year limited releases.
Also take note of Karuizawa.

Where would one attempt to sell expensive bottles like this?

>>12699621
I wouldn't mind spending more, it's just I want to establish some customers before I go out and buy a rare and expensive bottle

>>12699627
I would probably go to the high end bars and sushi restaurants around town
maybe talk to my uncle's country club and sportsmans club and see if they're interested
they all smoke cigars and drink scotch
I'm sure there's a market I just want to start with a few bottles and build it up from there
eventually have enough stock to sit on and slowly sell

ah I don't know if I can pull this off seems like there's a lot of trade secrets

>>12699691
Just make shitty bathtub liquor to sell to niggers

In that case, Kavalan is heavily, heavily underrated for what it is (Just like what Hibiki was years before).
If you are absolute certain that you are onto an item that appreciates over time (Perhaps a collectible piece), then sit on it for a couple of years or five.

>>12699691
Depends on what do you want to accomplish.
Do you want to cater to the collector's market or to the general public or both?

>>12699732
I'd like to do both, but I would think catering to the general public first would be best to turn over some inventory and get some customers
This is all really interesting and I appreciate your recommendations

>>12699763
>catering to the general public first
Then it is all about the presentation.
Save yourself the time and go digital.

>Hibiki Harmony
Slightly confused how much would this cost in Japan, if you can buy it online from totalwine and other sites online for relatively cheap. Using the Hibiki Harmony as an example it's only 59.99 from totalwine.com
