I did get to drink this, and it wasn't half bad.

A couple weeks ago in a Sushi restaurant in Manhattan, I had some unbelievable 18-yr Jap whiskey (not surprisingly, I can?t recall the name of the whiskey or the restaurant, though the latter was about a mile or two from the Intercontinental/Barclay and was in a big mall with a Borders bookstore. Interestingly, the 12-yr of the same whiskey tasted like crap, but the 18-yr was amazing. As I keep writing, I realize that I am adding nothing to the discussion.
