Bought a couple of bottles here over the past 1+ years. Needless to say, I'm never coming back here again. When May 2018 came along, they announced the further shortage of Japanese whisky. The person that I spoke with mentioned that they had a bottle of age statement Hibiki, but was keeping it for a charity auction coming soon. I immediately signed up for their email distribution. Now, I haven't seen any news on this, but that auction never seemed to have happened. I don't like it when a liquor store keeps the rare stuff for themselves (speculation of course, but where is that purported bottle?).

On another note, they mark up their prices a lot, and after adding taxes, it's ridiculous to buy anything from this place. Seattle downtown has very limited store options unfortunately, so there seems to always be traffic here.
