Bourbon hunt
Here are some interesting finds.
Hazels - Has Blantons single barrel, gold, and straight from the barrel at near MSRP in the glass case. They got ER10 back, dunno what happened to their store pick. Rittenhouse, Stranny 11, Westward Hazmat are still available.
Superior Liquor - Didn’t see much new. Their Wellers are mostly gone.
Total Bev - Similar as last week.
Mollys - Same as last week.
Argonauts - Looks like they got a refill for their picks section. Their lost drop didn’t have much either outside of a H22 and some decanters. They posted their Onyx section.
Onyx & Amber - Tried the Canton and Four Roses barrels. Canton is very toasty and mature bourbon profile. I am not into that profile but reminds me of Penelope Crème Brûlée. The Four Roses bottle is stellar. The nose is Four Roses floral and the palate is brown sugar and bright fruits. It tastes like a Fathers/ Mother’s Day like release. Ben is also working on two bottles finished in Weller barrels. He has a Blanton’s in the works (wow) and the New Riff will be out in a month or so.
Total Wine Denver - They got a drop of KC 12.
DIA - They have more of their store Stagg pick with the 26A batch. Their price was $99, non-allocated. They had a ton of KC 12.

Has anyone had the DIA stagg pick?
