		<description><![CDATA[A large part of enjoying whiskey is actually finding it. Now I love a good whiskey hunt as much as the next guy, but some of you actually have to work for a living and can't spend time running all over town looking for the perfect dram. So I thought I'd share the best establishments I've found for buying whiskey in Tucson. If all you are looking for is a Glenlivet or Johnny Walker, then any supermarket or corner beverage store will fill the bill, but if you're looking for something new then check out these stores.

I am a happy, happy man!  The liquor stores I have been frequenting in Tucson have a limited whisky selection and what they have is a bit overpriced.  The Beverage House on Broadway has maybe 25 Scotch single malt expressions and just a handful of Irish whiskies&#8211;just the common [...]
