🚨 ULTRA RARE ALERT — YAMAZAKI 25 HAS ARRIVED 🚨

We are proud (and honestly a little shocked) to say that Needham Center Fine Wines is the ONLY shop in the entire state of Massachusetts to receive TWO bottles of the legendary Yamazaki 25 Year Old.

And trust us… these are not going to sit around for long.

🥃 The Yamazaki 25 Year Old is considered one of the most iconic and collectible Japanese whiskies ever released. Aged for a quarter century and matured in a combination of American, Spanish, and legendary Japanese Mizunara oak casks, this whisky is known for its extraordinary depth, dark fruit, sandalwood, incense, rich oak spice, and elegant complexity that only decades of aging can create.

Highly allocated. Nearly impossible to find. Rarely seen in the U.S.

MSRP: $6,400

⚠️ Only 2 bottles available
⚠️ First come, first serve
⚠️ No holds without commitment

If you’ve been hunting for a bottle, collecting rare Japanese whisky, or simply don’t want to miss one of the rarest allocations in the state…

📩 Please respond to this thread, DM us, or call the shop ASAP to reserve your bottle.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

🚨 COMING THIS FRIDAY: HIBIKI 30 YEAR 🚨

One of the rarest and most sought after Japanese whiskies in the world is making its way to Needham Center Fine Wines.

🥃 Hibiki 30 Year Suntory Whisky

Crafted from an extraordinary blend of ultra-aged malt and grain whiskies matured for a minimum of 30 years, Hibiki 30 is widely regarded as one of the greatest Japanese whiskies ever produced. Elegant, layered, and incredibly refined, expect notes of dried fruit, sandalwood, dark honey, incense, leather, spice, and delicate Mizunara oak influence that only decades of aging can deliver.

Why is it so hard to find?

Very few bottles make it into the United States, allocations are extremely limited, and demand from collectors worldwide continues to far exceed supply. We’ve been told there are only ~15 bottles allocated in the state, making this an exceptionally rare opportunity for serious collectors and Japanese whisky enthusiasts.

MSRP: $7,500

If you are seriously interested, please reach out. We are open to working on pricing for the right buyer.

Serious inquiries only. First come, first served.

DM us or call the shop if interested.

🚨 RARE BOURBON DROP FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTORS 🚨

These don’t come around often.

🥃 Old St. Nick “Nirvana” – 1 Bottle Available – $1000

A truly special release built from a blend of 17–21 year old Kentucky bourbon distillate, including 21 year old whiskey dating back to the 1980s era. Bottled at 123.4 proof, this is old-school Kentucky bourbon with serious maturity, depth, oak, dark caramel, leather, to***co, spice, and that older bourbon profile collectors chase.

For those who appreciate older whiskey and vintage era distillate, this is one of those bottles that’s incredibly hard to replace.

🥃 Pure Antique 22 Year Straight Bourbon – 2 Bottles Available – $1060

A stunning 22 year old barrel proof bourbon, created from a batch of just 2 barrels, with only 130 bottles produced total. Unfiltered, mature, and deeply complex with rich oak, dark fruit, caramelized sugar, leather, baking spice, and a long lingering finish.

This is the kind of ultra-aged bourbon that rarely makes it to shelves.

Our whiskey club members already grabbed one bottle of each, so what remains is:

• 1 Bottle of Nirvana
• 2 Bottles of Pure Antique 22 Year

Once they’re gone, that’s it.
