Oddly enough there is bourbon you can't find in the states. Google "Wild Turkey Japan only" for examples (I don't know what is available these days) and Four Roses has two Japan-only expressions, "Black Label/Fine Old" and "Super Premium." You can't even buy them at the distillery in KY! However, they are roughly analogous to Yellow Label and Small Batch, but with different recipes.
