There is something wrong here...

I am looking at a bottle of Glenfiddich 12 Year Old ... It is sold at the Safeway here in Bellevue Washington for almost $40. This price does not include Washington State Taxes. The same bottle in japan is selling for 2,199 including tax (that is about US$28).
I understand tax being high, but the bottom line is the bottle itself is much much higher here. That means, it is not a State problem the liquors are more expensive, it is the distributors who are juicing up the prices.
