I'm going to be traveling through Lafayette tomorrow, and I was wondering what liquor store had the best scotch selection.

In particular I am looking for Finlaggan and Black Bottle. I was told Black Bottle is redoing their label, and it is on back order with most distributors.

Ambassador wine and spirits has a great selection. Only place I shop in the city for all my alcohol needs.

Thanks for the replies! I might try to swing by both if time allows.

Years back, he was the premier wine/spirits place in Laf. What happened?

There's nothing wrong with the place. What was your bad experience?

I shop at all three (Ambasador, Marcello's, And Phillipe's). Depends on my location at the time I guess.

The selection is weak, they are not knowledgeable about their Whiskey, and their prices are the highest in town.... 40 something bucks for Eliah Craig 12

AND they sell their entire pappy/BTAC allocation to one person who doesn't even live in LA.

I repeat, frick Phillipe's.

Black Bottle is in fact on backorder and has been out for a while.

3 months later my answer remains the same... frick Phillipe's

Last time I went in to get wine for Mrs jack, they had BTEC for $90 and other stuff that I can't remember marked up ridiculously.

I'll drink TW Samuels from Walgreen's before buying bourbon from them.
