Help Please!!!
Hey all.
I recently moved to Des Moines IA. I used to work at a huge liquor store and never had any issue getting high end rums.
Since I've moved, I learned two things about Des Moines. You can ship Rum in here (definite plus!) and they don't (as far as I can tell) have any real liquor stores.
The thing I would like some help with is this:
1) Do you know of a good site to order rum from? I'm looking for a good price point, and wide selection. Currently I am looking for Myers Legend, but I want a site I can stick with for many things.
2) How can I find a real liquor store here? Everything is sold in the grocery stores, and I can't seem to find anyone with any premium rums other than the occasional Pyrat XO.
Please help.
--Bob

I have not been very impressed with Myers Legend, especially for that price range.

Shoppers Vineyard has a great selection. I've made several purchases from their site.
BevMo is a site you should visit as well. Unfortunately, they don't ship to my state

Awesome sites. I have been looking at Shoppers vineyard for a while. Completely forgot about BevMo.
Any ideas on finding a brick-and-mortar store?

Even on sale it would make take a pretty decent chunk out of my wallet!

I picked up a bottle of the El Dorado 21 yesterday. I'm not sure that I like it as well as the 15 and the 12.
