It does suck. I've noticed though that the Total Wines in the Houston area generally don't have the harder to get stuff. I usually end up just getting all our wine and champagne from them and then bourbon elsewhere.

Also bought in Andorra, a bottle of Woodford Reserve Distillers Select. But what I hadn't noticed til now that I'm opening the bottle, that it's a 1 liter size bottle! Do they even sell those in the US?

Does Total Wine down by y'all do their frequent buyer club? I don't shop at the one here in MD but my neighbor does and was able to get a BTAC via that route this year....

yes, they do - I have her highest status (of course). They didn’t ship any pvw or btac to the entire state this year. Independent retailers started putting btac on the shelf this week. Found a gts and wlw for $500. Unreal.

Costco sells Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select in 1.75L. Bought one in LEX a couple weeks back for $60, though I think I have also seen it in Chicagoland. Different text/layout silk-screened on bottle than the one pictured here a couple days ago, but it’s labeled as “Distiller’s Select/Woodford Reserve/Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.”
Is it the same exact stuff if it omits “Labrot & Graham” from the label? Sorry, I am kind of a bourbon novice.
Note that we are having the 12th iteration of the LEX Horse and Bourbon DO in April. Bourbon tours, horse farms, horse races, partying, and points/miles talk. What could be better?

Woodford, Knob Creek and a few others are available in both 0.75L and 1.0L sizes in Ohio. I'm sure they are in other states as well.
