This store is: A Bourbon Collector’s Wet Dream! Coming from the Florida panhandle where people lineup outside stores before opening on store’s delivery days for allocated items that are not even guaranteed to be restocked… This was such a pleasant surprise to me. I saw editions and sizes of stuff I didn’t even know existed! The entire Colonel EH Taylor & Weller lineup?! PAPPY?! Multiple editions of Blanton’s and in 50mL bottles??? Weller In 1.75L bottles?? I sent a picture to my group chat and ended up taking home around 17 bottles. *Note* Everything in my last photo wasn’t all purchased in this store but were my finds for the entire day) Critiques: The store feels like a hoarder’s library. They had an oversupply of stock to put on shelves / storage so lots of boxes and bottles were just on the ground in an already tight walk area. Many of the items didn’t have price labels so I had to pester the cashier many times for price checks. The gentlemen had great customer service skills but the lady seemed annoyed just in general being at work. Overall: The Euphoria I felt seeing the selection they had trumps all flaws for me and if you are aware of the primary & secondary bourbon market, the majority of their items in my opinion are reasonably & commonly priced. I did see a couple of head scratchers. ~ I noticed many reviews bashing the store for their secondary market prices or them not willing to barter / match prices… and I think those same people don’t understand the bourbon market nowadays and that at the end of the day it’s a business. If it’s out of your budget then leave and go somewhere else? If you saw it cheaper else where then go back and buy it there? The fact this store has these rare items readily available with plentiful stock gives me the impression they are jumping through hoops or paying more than average store cost to keep them in stock so they must turn a profit. Regardless: After hauling all my gnarly finds and posting a picture everyone wanted to know about Sherry’s and I got paid to actually make another trip to DC to pick up unicorn-esque-rarity items a week later for other collector friends. Sherry’s is forever engraved in my mind. Thank you for existing!

Great whiskey and bourbon selection and knowledgeable staff. Knocking a star because prices are higher than other DC stores. Some are outrageously marked up, others are in line, so would comparison shop accordingly

rip off after rip off, this place is the epitome of what is wrong with the whiskey world. Don't give in and buy from here- go elsewhere. And yeah, selling 50 mL (!!) bottles of blanton's for 60 dollars (the price a FULL 750 mL bottle should go for) drove me to leave this. These will sell because you're taking advantage of people that don't know any better, recognize the name, and don't realize the stuff is being priced for over a 1000% increase in price. EDIT- "Why don't you talk about these whiskies that everyone can get anywhere always for a normal price?" I'm not asking you guys to be a "discount" liquor store, you guys sell bottles for over 20x their suggested retail, sometimes more! You price people out of being able to enjoy products that should go for 45-99 bucks by selling them for 2000+. You are infamous for being a ripoff, either embrace it and don't whine when people give your business reviews about your business practice, or stop being a "museum."

Good selection of liquors and wines, as a local store it's great, but if you're buying wine off the internet to have it shipped it should be known that their higher-end 150+ bottles of wine are stored upright, high off the ground right underneath the pot lights. Anything vintage or of value should be kept on its side, refrigerated. This is independent of the fact that the prices are going to be 10-20% higher than if it was shipped/picked up from a total wine/costco or other such comparable store. Case in point, they have a 300$ bottle of 2018 dominus estate standing up gathering dust under a flood light, it's probably a solid 70 degrees in the store. You can go a mile away to wegmans and they have a climate controlled high-end wine fridge where it's properly kept. Tl;dr selection of wine is good, but buyer beware.

Bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace Experimental Batch Oat. It was not authentic. Tasted like watered down bourbon. I suspect they emptied the bottle and refilled it. When i called the store they said there's nothing they can do. Scam artist at its finest.
