Good idea. Westport Liquors (Westport Village) and Prospect Party Mart also serve upscale audiences and pride themselves on being able to fill special requests.

My 2 cents,

My thinking was that Charlie at Westport and Jamie at Prospect are in the business of customer service and seem to be savvy about digging up rarities on request from the distributors - even if there's none on the shelf.
Maybe a desperate seeker might try BOTH approaches, high and low?

As I understand it from folks "ITB" (and PLEASE, someone correct me if I'm wrong) in a normal year it's about a 70/30 spilt with 70 percent of the premium/seasonal Bourbons staying in KY. THIS year it was (apparently) the exact opposite with 70% of the product leaving the state. Personally, if it means anything, about April of this year I observed the "asking price" for premium Bourbons (Rye's, etc) on EBay (etc) almost double within a two week period.
