Meanwhile, the wife spends a lot of time working in SWMO, and pretty regularly comes home with a bottle of Taylor, Eagle Rare and Blanton's.
Seems somewhat easy to get everywhere else.

Anything worth secondary value that hits here and you better be on your social media game or know someone, but I've noticed January is a good time as people are reeling from the holidays and/or committing to diets. I'll occasionally see Blanton's and maybe a Taylor Single Barrel, but this was a first for Rye. My strategy here is boutique beer stores that sell whiskey and spots that may get a small drop but who's demographic doesn't really care and they fly under the radar. The hood.
