Liquor store recommendation for hard-to-find bourbon

[Anonymous]

Can anyone recommend a liquor store in DC or close in MD I can go to tomorrow for a good bottle of bourbon for a birthday present - thinking the $100 range. I'm not expecting the $300+ bottles that people do the lottery for or wait in line overnight, but a store that regularly has some brands that aren't usually at the neighborhood liquor store. Or do I just need to go to a total wine or other mega store? TIA for any recommendations/advice.

Paul's wine and liquor in DC shut down unforutnately.

In MoCo, it's all controlled by the county, however, they do have $100 bourbon's in stock. Look on the shelf, and also ask them -- you may see some bottles kept on the shelf behind the counter.

Schneider's of Capitol Hill is my go-to. I haven't been there in a while, but they usually have a good selection or can point you in the right direction of something similar.

Calvert is usually good. Also try Addy Bassins on Macarthur.

There are a few:

P Street Liquors (1 West Dupont Circle)
Barmy
Imperial on Connecticut Ave
Calvert Woodley

If you want something unique, go to P street and get one of their barrel picks.

If you have time, your best bet is DMV spirits, near the Crate & Barrel on Mass Ave in Spring Valley. You can taste anything before you buy it. Just check to make sure they will be open before you go.

Total wine in PG. Best in the whole area.

I went to the DMV Liquor, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the tip!
