What are some go to locations in Baton Rouge to find quality bourbons that the walmarts, Winn dixies, etc of the world won't have?

Just messing with you about Piggly Wiggly. Please don't go there!

Try the following places:
The Beverage Store - Best prices in town
Churchill's
Martins
Hokus Pokus
Calandro's
Alexander's
Leblanc's Frais Marche'
BinQ - If you dare

35,000+ And that's retail. Usually they run in the 6 figures

They release 6-10 bottles a year.

FPD - not a $35K bottle of Balvenie, that's for sure.
But FRSB ins't too bad, and my palate likes it just fine.

I discovered a friend of a friend that was on a cruise with us is friends with the family that owns the most sought after bourbon. I thought, no way in hell this plays out, but apparently it is...

Not trying to bring you down but a lot can change in that time, especially when it's a friend of a friend. I would temper my expectations, just saying. Would be awesome for sure though, but believe it when you see it
