For Japanese Whiskey it's depending on what year you get but generally a tad cheaper than Scotches. I always get mine at Duty-Free.

Lagavulin, Dalwhinnie, and Highland Park are 3 of my usual economic gotos all in the $100 range

Sometimes you might see a bottle at a higher end Japanese restaurant. Bistro Sakana had a bottle of Hibiki 17 (at $21/oz) but the owner wouldn't tell me where he got it. lol. "Fell off the back of the truck" I suspect. Or one of his staff brought it back from Japan.
On Friday I had my first Taiwanese whiskey. Kavalan single malt. I was skeptical but really enjoyed it.

Can't find any in Canada, it's very hard! I brought back 2 bottles of Yamazaki 12 from Austin TX for $50/bottle. Well worth the price. I also found Yamazaki 18 but at $240/bottle that was a little rich for me... maybe next time. I also found Talisker 18 (hooray!) and an interesting Sauternes bottling of the Glenmorangie 12... came back from my trip with 4 bottles lol.
Still on the search for the Yamazaki Sherry Cask.
