It seems that it's Ohio that hates good whisky. I didn't realize that Ohio is one of 17 control states, meaning the Division of Liquor Control buys all of the liquor coming into the state and oversees its sale. In short, if the Department of Commerce, which runs the Division of Liquor Control, doesn’t bring it in, Ohioans can’t buy it. This is also why no online shop can legally deliver liquor to an Ohio address. I had no idea such stone-age garbage was still in effect today.
There was a pretty large axing of some liquor brands as recently as 2018 that included quite a bit of single-malt. The good news is that Talisker is not one of those that was axed. The bad news is that very few state-licensed liquor stores in my area seem to carry it. I found one in my tri-county area that indicated they carried Talisker Single Malt and Talisker Distiller's Edition. I don't get to that area very often, but I may at least call to see if they do have some on hand.

FYI: Talisker Storm is $39.99, 18-year old is $124.99 and Distillers' Edition is $69.99.
