I'm not any sort of expert on distribution, but it appears to me that Appleton has the US covered very well. This may be directly related to the name recognition and sales volume of the brand. J Wray, on the other hand, is an up-and-comer which hasn't achieved market penetration (from name recognition) in the same way that Appleton has. The great "playing field leveler" for me has been mail order. For example, there are some things which are illegal to sell in my state (anything over 151 proof, like Stroh 80) but which I am able to obtain by mail. I hope you have good luck finding, or mail-ordering, the things you need. It took me a while to build up my bar, and the search is fun. You never know what you'll find or when you'll find it. But become good with Google and I think you'll enjoy pretty good success.

I hope they serve Mai Tais in jail.
