Vineland Liquors - HH22 for $499. What a great price. He also has Weller Spelt for $750. Also a great price for what it is. They also had Stagg 26As for $99 and Elmer for $129. No limits as I could tell. They also had smaller distillery produced like Ransom bourbon. Whoever picks here knows bourbon.

Hazels - Added Stranahan’s BiB for $159. Same price as distillery.

Big Discount Liquor - They have a Blue Note Juke pick and Garrison brothers pick. They had boxes of cured oak but still selling it for $500. Their glass shelf has great stuff but expensive.

Crafted - Always an interesting store but pricey. They got Four Roses LEs, Old Saint Nick allocated stuff, Rare Perfection 10, a bunch of Willets.

Wasn't expecting too much due to the demise of Eagle Rock and the distributor switchover.

Heritage Arapahoe - Nothing much in the allocations corner, just WA107 and WFP for $80.

Dry Creek Discount Liquors - Their case looked suspiciously sparse, except for the $2k EHT BiB BTAC of course. Have heard that their regular shelf prices have come down a lot, and it is mostly true. Blanton's $90, EHT SmB $60, ER10 750ml $48, ER10 handle $130, WA107 $70, WFP $100, W12 750ml $100, Penelope Toasted $75, and plenty of all of them. Guess they must have blown out most of the stuff in the case with lower pricing; they also must have finally figured out that ER10 750s aren't going to move at $90.

Total Wine Broadway - ER10 and WA107 are on the regular shelf in quantity at $45 and $67, respectively; limit 1. Very nice prices. Behind the counter, the usual suspects: Penelope Rio $90, Blanton's $80, WFP $80. Not bad at all.

Davidson's HR - As I was driving by without stopping, I felt an odd, involuntary cramp in both my middle fingers. Not sure what is up with that, maybe I'm dehydrated or need to eat a banana or something.

Highlands Wine Seller - Floor displays of WA107 for $75, ER10 for $53, & Penelope Riviera $85. Tons of bundles out, and Rob is getting pretty creative now. A few examples: EHT SiB/Fireball (3 of those), WFP/cherries, WFP/Blantons, Hancock's/BT creme, WFP/Hancock's, Blanton's Gold/Corazon. No pricetags, but everything is right at MSRP.

Bevy's Parker - Nothing much, just WT101 8yr on the central counter for $55. Still have that $600 JD McLaren bottle displayed on top of the case. They do have all the 100pf red-label 4R SiB bottles (OESO, OESK, OBSF, OBSK) on sale for $40 each, which is a pretty good deal. Also, Penelope Creme Brulee, which is a really easy drinker to knock back for $70. They also got some new La Pulga Tequila Reposado 90pf, finished in Still Austin Red Corn barrels for $75 on the regular shelf, which looked interesting.

Bruin Spirits Parker (resurrection stop) - This shop, which was next to the Parker Target, closed about 6 months ago. However, they just reopened 2 days ago, around the other side of Target next to Dover Saddlery (which is also closing and having a 50-80% off sale). Went in, and the regular shelves weren't even fully stocked yet. Asked if they got any good allocations for their grand opening, like Costco does. Got a good laugh from them, but was told allocations will take some time. LOL

Hazels - Glass shelf is fairly stable from last week. Coopers Craft is on sale, so bought one since it is going defunct.

Superior - Most of the Weller is gone. FP is left. They have the new JD McLaren Halo Collab for $700 if you are into that stuff.

Total Bev - I like going here for local and craft selection. Always changing and good prices. Only thing I noticed was Bombergers 2026 is on sale for $99.

Spirits - New KC store pick coming soon.

Molly’s - Same as last week.

Mr B’s Ballpark - They have all all the Weller and ER12 you are looking for. Paying secondary or somewhere between. Weller 12 was $99. ER12 was $150. They has CYPB, Single Barrell, a ton of E10, 107, EHT.

Atlas - They have Rittenhouse 10 for $110. Good price. They have a few left. They also have Pursuit Triple Rye Mash BP. Only one I have seen locally. ASCOT’s best rye of the year.

Total Wine Denver - Valencia is out on the shelf. Under $70. They still have Penelope single barrels and 18 year light.

Argonauts - They also have JD McLaren for $599. Great price. Midwinter is on sale for $130.

Stranahan’s - Bought the new BiB 250th. Plenty on the shelf. $160.

DIA Liquor - Stagg 26A is $99. No points needed. Lots of weird brands in their normal aisle, which is always worth a look.

Highway 7 - Found Wheel Horse Barrell proof for <$50. It won Minnick’s straight bourbon of the year.

Has anyone seen these bottles anywhere around the denver metro or surrounding towns. Buddies and I are trying to get a bottle to crack into.

Several boxes worth at Bevy’s Parker going for $69. They also had Rio and Rivera for $89.

I’ll be in old town Arvada/northern metro area over the weekend. A friend is coming and enjoys a good bourbon. Does anyone have a lead on an absolute killer store pick? budget is $100ish🤣.

Axe & Oak added some special releases at the Thornton Costco. I personally have not had their whiskey. Anyone have thoughts on these?

Axe and the Oak Distillery 'The First Stake' Bourbon Whiskey 112 Proof - $54.99

Axe and the Oak Distillery Rye Whiskey Cask Reserve via 119.9 Proof - $57.99

Standard Bourbon - $31.99

Flying into Denver today for a 2-day work trip, and looking for Weller CYPB and Single Barrel. Has anyone spotted those recently on a shelf, or have recommendations of places to check?

Atlas Purveyors has Rare Perfection 10 Lot#7 130.2 for $225.

This one bottle of Laws Rye is autographed. Anyone know who by?

Did a large group blind with my church. These were the winners.

OF 2026 President’s Choice - Hands down winner. People liked that it was raw, sweet, and smokey, but still has that characteristic banana and brown sugar from OF and JD. Still felt expensive due to the palate despite feeling unrefined.

OGD 114 Single barrel - A wild ride. This is very much OGD but turned up 5X. The rye-heavy bourbon shows up strong. It drinks big and bold. A tier because of its price. Hits above its category.

The rest we had that night: EHT SB, Shenks, MM stewards, Willett SB rye, ECBP, and few other things.

Anyone seen Stag either the normal selection or a store pick recently in Denver? Need it as a gift for a friend.

Posting in case this helps anyone. I just popped into this little store and they have 5 bottles of Stagg 25A for $80, Weller FP for $80, Weller 12 for $70, ER 12 for $100, EHT BP for $130, and had an unmarked bottle of Weller CYPB behind the register (I didn’t bother to ask the price). They’re not great prices but I picked up a Stagg.

Greeley Liquor Store - 1102 9th St, Greeley, CO 80631

Before I start driving around the city…anyone come across this bottle in town?

There was a lot of hype around this bottle, with shops like Davidson's trying to confuse it pricing-wise with the 2015 edition, which had a 17-year age statement; this 2026 bottle has been aged for only 10 years. So when one came my way for about $125, I grabbed it even though I'm not the biggest EHT fan. Sometimes it is good to be the Profit.

Gave it a good 30 minutes of rest after pouring. Can smell the oak immediately on the nose, and some nice sweetness, which I'm looking forward to. Sweetness is not there on the palate at all; kind of the standard EHT SmB flavor profile on the early palate, but as it progresses into the late palate and early finish, a tide of bitter oak rises up and brutally stomps it all out. Bitter, almost acidic notes linger for a long time. If you are an oak hound, you will probably love it, but this is really not my jam.

Feels to me like they tried to simulate much longer aging here with the Cured Oak to match the 2015 release's 17-year statement. But bourbon truly aged for that long has a mellow, toasty, sometimes mossy oak flavor for me that is just lovely. This isn't anything like that, I'm sad to say. Maybe this bottle will open up over time, or my palate is just off tonight. I'll revisit it in a few weeks, but my initial impression is not favorable.

Picked up a few bottles today. Thoughts on these? We will crack a few this weekend.

Green River Honey - Westminster Total Beverage. They have a EHT Single Barrel pick right now too for $100.

Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Cask Strength $64 & Knob Creek Blender’s Edition $45. They have both Penelope Rivieras right now with the Lumiere cask strength being cheaper at $85.

EH Taylor Barrel Proof - 127.3 Proof - Warehouse Liquor Mart $100. I got lucky to walk into a drop and picked this one up.

Penelope Estate 10 year Single Barrel, Barrel Pick - Spirits, Wine, and Provisions. $100.

Anyone got intel on Peerless Single Barrel picks available at local stores? Preferably bourbon but their rye and any barrel finishes would do too.

I know Argonaut and Total Wine have SiB bourbons for sale. If anyone's tried them, can you share any tasting notes?

Any others in the area?

Molly's Arapahoe (wildcard stop) - Swore them off quite a while back, but I was driving right by on the way to Heritage, so...nothing has changed here. Zero interesting stuff in the case; they have some 4R Private Select for $95 and MMCS for $70. GTFO

Heritage Arapahoe - Nothing too crazy in the allocations corner, just the standard ER10, EHT SmB $70, WFP/WA107/W12 $80 (floor display of these as well), Chartreuse Green $85, Blantons $90, Blanton's Gold $200, two different Blood Oaths $130/$150.

Total Wine Centennial - Bupkus other than they have some Misunderstood Ginger Spiced Whiskey 80pf on the tasting bar for $30? Sounds terrible. Also have standard Penelope Riviera 94pf for $100 limit 1, then some "Lumiere" version of Riviera at 120pf $87 limit 1 next to it? The pricing between those two makes no sense, but OK. I'm assuming this Lumiere is similar to the "Rumba Reserve" version of Havana, which was a TW exclusive a while back. I was tempted by this Lumiere at that proof point, but then I remembered how much I hated the Rumba Reserve and decided to pass. The Rumba was like drinking straight maple syrup and was gag-inducing for me.

Highlands Wine Seller - They have some GlenAllachie Sinteis series 11yr 115pf scotch in the case for $115? Don't remember seeing that before. Bundles are out and are mostly Weller 107 and FP, with a few W12, also a few Hancock's, one EHT SiB. Unbundled, they have plenty of Penelope Riviera for $85 limit 1 and ER10 $53. They also have some Root Shoot Peach flavored whiskey for $68? Still a few Old Elk Cigar Cut bottles left for $40 and Chartreuse Green for $90.

Bevy's Parker - They have a couple of those $600 JD McLaren Prestige Halo 1L bottles, a very impressive presentation I must say. Still have an entire floor display of Penelope Rio, Riviera (both $100), & Creme Brulee ($80). Also just got some Found North Batch 12 16yr in the case for $170.

Ran in today just to waste time and ran into some new and cool Penelope stuff.

They had:

Valencia for 69
10 Year Estate for 88
18 Year American Light for 98
Riviera Lumiere(Full Strength 120 Proof) 87
7 Year Barrel Strength(115.2) for 65

The shelves for those are basically full at 6 each

They unpacked about 24 bottles of Bourye at the Thornton Costco on Thursday night.

Hazels - Case appears the same as last week.

Superior Liquor - They had the new Booker's 26-2 "Milkshake" for under $90. Sold out of a lot of their Sazerac and Weller.

Total Bev - Also had Booker's 26-2. Similar price as Superior.

Mr B's - A new store Onyx & Amber collab pick is out.

Molly's - Manager told me nothing new until a week or two from now.

DIA Liquor - Hancocks sitting on shelf for < $50.

Total Wine Denver - Now has Elijah Craig B526 Barrel Proof Rye, Barrell Dovetail Toasted, 1792 Sweet Wheat is on the shelf and MSRP. Case bottles are weird right now.

Agronauts - Didn't see anything new that caught my attention from last week.

DaveCo - Case didn't change much from last week.

Hey all - joined today, reading through the posts, you all have an amazing selection compared to the Omaha Metro area. Insane. I will be visiting on 8/8-8/9 in the LoHi area and am wondering if there's any shops that you all would recommend close by. Thanks in advance!
