So far I only managed to grab Hibiki 12 and 17, for what I consider fairly reasonable prices. Still on the hunt for other stuff... The Yamazaki distillery had lots available for tasting but none for sale.

Where in Japan are you right now? I found the Hibiki 21 by stroke of luck in Ikeda near the Hankyu Takarazuka Line. They were being sold at that store for 27,000JPY (taxes inclusive). Later that day I was strolling around the department stores in Umeda and found a gold mine of Japanese Whiskeys still in stock and being sold in Hanshin: Yamazaki 12, Yamazaki Limited Edition 2015 and several Hibiki 21's; they were 9,500, 10,000 and 25,000JPY respectively (duty-free prices, just make sure you bring your passport along for a tax refund). Hope you can still score some.
Kansai airport also had plenty of Yamazaki 18 Limited Editions in stock for 50,000JPY, but thats too rich for my taste
