I had no idea AA was a BT product. 

I recommend finding someone out of state to trade with. Trade them easy to stuff find in your area for hard to stuff find in their area. For example I have some people I trade Weller with (easily found in Ohio most of the time) for Eagle Rare, Blantons, and EH Taylor. You have to ship it which kind of sucks and its not as fun as finding the bottles at the store, but it gets the job done and you meet some cool people along the way.
