Weeeee-see-kee

Pop by one of our Japanese colleagues' favorite Bar. Whisky Bar, to be precise. Anyhow, after a few rounds, Boss Kosho came by, obviously loose and high after 'god-knows' how many rounds. Mood was good, and he decided - OK, today good day. Very happy. Let u try some good whisky.
Whisked out a bottle from the very top shelf of his "800+ bottles" display counter. Popped opend a wooden box, that reads - Yamazaki 35 Years.


What the hell... Si mi lai eh, I thought to myself.
Boss Kosho says - This.. very special whisky. Only 200 bottles worldwide. I have 2 bottles. Now, you try..... OK, why not... Took a pack, had a sip... mmmm, very smooth and very sweet... very nice vanilla/woody taste.
Boss Kosho says - You know how much?
I said - No.
Boss Kosho says - About 600,000 Yen per bottle (S$ 8 Grand!!!!). Lucky day for you. On the house... wahahahahahah.....
I said - Domo Arigato.... The bloody pack retails about 500 bugs.....!!!
Anyhow - This is actually a nice place to go to. Coffee.Bar.K down at UE Square. Good recommendation for ambience and service!
