A bunch of sites will not deliver to La. Anyone have any favorite sites? Lovescotch.com is one I’ve had luck with to order whisky and bourbon. Would love to have some other options to price compare.

TIA

If you you live within 100 miles of a decent store I bet that’s a better option

Why don't you just go to the store?

do you live in a place with limited selection? I would think that is the only reason to order online when living in LA

I do for my everyday sipping.

Looking for the stuff that is harder to find. Specifically looking for Buffalo Trace antique collection. Very small allocation is given in North Louisiana. Would like to,get my hands on some, but there is none locally.

Very small allocation EVERYWHERE, man.

Going online isn't the solution to that.

At a ridiculous cost usually.

Befriend you local retailers. It's mostly your best bet at getting that stuff at a somewhat reasonable price.

Or hang around the stores a little and try to find out who the BT sales rep is and befriend him

That will be my plan moving forward. I’ve made progress with one of our local stores.

I was itching to get some though and just pulled the trigger on Thomas Handy 2016. It is the cheapest of the BTAC. Had some last week and really liked it. Bought it from Saratoga Wine exchange online.

A lot of these stores hold limited bottles for friends and family and whatever gets leftover is for their best customers. Become that guy who the store owner calls.

How much was that Handy?

Cost me $374. I know it’s a premium. What would you say is a fair price for it?

Here is the link...

Some folks have more money than time or patience, so just point them to where they can get it if you know a source,

To me, no more than $150 or so...$100-120 is what it should be.

The BTAC’s are extremely good juice, but it’s valued differently by different people. If I can’t find one on the shelf, I’m much happier to spend $16 or 17 to try it at a cocktail bar than shell out $3-400 for a bottle.

You'll be paying the same ridiculous mark up if you find rare stuff online too. There's usually a reason it is just sitting there
