I've been to Sheridan L&W several times now. The very first thing I noticed was that it has the best bourbon selection in the area; none of the other nearby liquor stores come close.

Not only is their selection HUGE, but every single employee I have ever encountered there has been helpful and pleasant. They always answer questions and make great conversation. I absolutely could not recommend them enough. They will always be my...
