Thanks for the recommendations! ^
Stopped by Perfect Pour this morning and marveled at some of the Scotch available for far better prices than in VA (didn't buy any, though; I was there for bourbon). Picked up Orphan Barrel's Rhetoric 21-year expression--I'm not entirely sold on Orphan Barrel, but hey, it's not everyday you can find 21-year-old bourbon for $100 instead of 5x-10x that price. Also picked up a Filibuster blend of rye and bourbon I hadn't come across before.
Not sure if I'll stop this evening in Silver Spring or not; I think I've spent my budget on booze for the week already, and have trips out west coming up soon which means I'll be bringing back anything and everything I don't see around here.
