This was a good one!
Blue Note is the only Dickle juice I see people say they like.

according to this the 3 year is kentucky sourced, small batch, 9 year, 17 year are dickle, but who knows for sure

That Jurado shin looks good but never tried it
But I don’t wanna spend 200 and something I don’t really know. There’s a lot of bad Japanese whiskey coming out nowadays to
super easy to lie about as it has such a wishy washy definition
I have my eye on a bottle from a distillery I like quite a bit that is finished in calvados barrels which I also like, but it's a lot of money to spend on, 'I hope I like this.'
It’s good to have backups.
Question for all the whiskey collectors/enjoyers here: where do y’all buy this stuff?
Sorry if this has already been covered somewhere in the thread but I live in the Boston area and compared to my friends in NY, CA, and CO I’ve struggled to find a good liquor store with real variety. I know some people order a lot but the options for delivery to MA are really limited.
Suggestions?

Most of mine are from local stores. We don’t have state run stores, but our prices are higher.
I will also buy online from stores out of CA. Not sure if MA allows that.
Keep looking for a "local". Sometimes it takes a while to find some good stores, but its worth the hunt. Anytime you pass by a new store (on the way home from work, family trip, while you're in the next town for your kid's sporting event, etc.) stop in and check it out. Sometimes the shittiest looking hole in the wall is a hidden gem. I have 4 or 5 different local stores I've settled on for most of my purchases, but it took stopping in at probably 100+ different places to find them.
I do a combination of what others have posted above, like if I'm traveling out of state I just stop off at random liquor stores to see what they have, and also I have companies that ship to me. Domestic shipping is kinda a crap shoot, some places will ship to VA, some won't, some did but won't anymore. I have much more success with international actually, but my interested are in Irish and Scotch mostly, so they are coming from overseas anyways. Buying bourbon from overseas would be pretty rough.

International recs? Scotch is my go to
I had a good (not great) local store before we moved (about 45 min away now) that consistently had stuff but for instance I’ve been trying to find the rarer runs from stuff like Angel’s Envy, Willet, Wild Turkey, etc and the stores around me just don’t have it.
Out in San Francisco for instance my brother showed me an importer/distributor that will sell to the home market (https://m.klwines.com/) but they won’t ship to MA and when I lived in NY my go-to was Astor.
I’m looking for somewhere that can be where I get 90% of my spirits and just failing

If I saw an Elmer or Rock Hill on the shelf in PA I would definitely pop a boner.
hard to find whisky. I've bought thousands of bottles from them, I get stuff ridiculously fast, and I've never once had an issue.

Remind me to be standing at least an aisle over from you when we go to the liquor store.
same here. never seen it, even in limited quantities on delivery day, around here.

I used to see Elmer T quite regularly a good 5-6 years ago, but not a single bottle of it in over 2 years. It’s real good for the $40ish retail price…not so much for the ridiculous secondary prices it fetches now.

But these do come around with some frequency!
