Have been looking for a place with a good selection of bourbon and scotch in Baton Rouge. What are some places with a wider variety around than I have found? Everywhere online charges too much for shipping or work it into the price.

Bin Q
Calandro's on Perkins
Martin Wine Cellar doesn't have a huge selection, but it is well curated and the prices are right

Used to be the case. Then cases went elsewhere.

I hear it's because the guy who handles the beer and liquor is kind of an a-hole. Hard to deal with. Some might say entitled. A daddy's money kind of guy. Doesn't expect to hear no, then pitches a fit when he does.

That's what I've heard.

I have plenty of customers who would beg to differ

The guy asked for the best liquor selection... do we not have that?

All mentioned are good options. I'd also throw in the Bevarge Store.

I second Bin Q. They have tons of scotch brands that I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

Calandros was the place when Ben and the older crew was around.

The owner's kid has his own way of doing things lets say....

I spend my $$ elsewhere these days

I go into Calandros when I can not find it anywhere else, but I usually avoid it
