Nearly finished my PVW 15 and began getting depressed. So, to kick the blues, I went out and bought another! There were five bottles of WLW there too...might have to save up another $250 and get them too.

Thanks, Howie!
Now if I can only figure out where to get the Pappy VW 20-year that is supposed to be better than the Hirsch, I'll be a happy man!
PA state stores, at least the premium stores, carry Pappy 20. I saw 10 bottles last weekend in the one in Erie, PA for $73. I am not sure what the closest premium store is to the MD border.

Some people see the glass as half empty, others half full,I prefer to drink straight from the bottle
Picked-up a bottle of Bulleit and an ORVW 107. I like like rye (and rye based bourbons) well enough, VWFRR is about my favorite tipple, but this Bulleit is going to the back of the bar. Win some, lose some.

What Howie said. I noticed one bottle left on the shelf at Burtonsville this afternoon.
Myself, I picked up an EWSB vintage 1994 (2004) in the gift box with the julep cup, somewhere in northeastern MD. Soooo handy to be able to Google for reviews on the cellphone in the store.

Replinished a depleted bottle of WT-03RB with a new one. Hope WT does not run out of the 03 batch any time in the forseeable future.
Dave,
Well, I made the trek up to Frederick to Ye Olde Spirit Shop. They have a really good selection of pretty much everything.
I found some treasures and am glad I went. They had every bottle of the BTAC '06 series. It was a tough decision on which one to pick up but I went with the WLW, which in my opinion is fantastic. They had some rare selections behind the counter and to my surprise (I did a double take) they had a bottle with box of WT Tribute. I grabbed it. My brother who came with me purchased 1 of 3 bottles of Rittenhouse 21 YO Rye. They also had a really nice selection of beers so picked up some Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale.
My "hunt" was very exciting but that may be due to the fact that VA is limited on good finds.....things you may already have access to in Mont. Cnty. In any case, wanted to give you an update on my trip.....well worth it.
