I always score better at smaller, rural liquor stores than those in the city.
We go home to eastern KY to visit family rather frequently. I find nothing much in the bigger liquor stores in Ashland, the go to nearby Grayson and find a great selection in the mom and pop store there.
For example, I am always on the hunt for Blanton's. Can't find it anywhere. I go in that small shop and they always have 6-8 bottles sitting there gathering dust.
