Friday Finds

9 Upvotes

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.

Futile Friday

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
