I was surprised that in southern TX (where I was for several days earlier this week) that every liquor store I visited had a decent Japanese whisky selection. One dive bar I visited in Brownsville had 10 whiskys on the bar, including Yamazaki 12, Hakushu 12, several NAS, and Yamazaki 18.
Prices weren't great--Hakushu was $99 US at every store I saw it--but I was surprised at the supply. Disappointed at the amount of NAS Nikkas out there, but still, better than the US situation has been in a while.
