Even if one is confined to New York, with a little effort one can easily accomplish the 37 that are currently available. I can say that I have and that the pure pot still whiskies (by classic definition) and the single malts are really good, I'm not as much of a fan of most of the blended whiskies as they're often a bit too sweet and light for my tastes.

I have noticed here (North Carolina) that anything other than Jameson or Bushmill is hard to find. Jameson seems to have a variety of offering while Bushmills seems to only have a couple of options ( I had to go through a lot to find the Irish Honey)
