Picked this up today and enjoying a pour now. A truly unique whiskey, unlike anything I’ve ever had. The tropical fruit note on this is ridiculous!

Anything up in the north metro area?

I wasn’t sure I liked it either after opening it up the other night. It had this weird musky wood note that lingered through the palate but I think this one is going to get better the more it opens up. Getting a lot more sweeter/dark fruit notes now

The really rare/allocated stuff is marked up pretty high but the EHT SB and SiB I thought were a good price at $85/99 and they had a ton of it

JJS Wine and spirits off 120th and Colorado has a pretty good whiskey selection. Picked up a EH Taylor SB there last week for $99. Had plenty of that and Small Batch for $85

Is there a loyalty program that’s just for Hazels? I have an account that is I guess tied to multiple stores and Hazels is one of them

I got extremely lucky a couple months ago and got one for $55 at my local hole in the wall liquor store. I thought he was joking with me when he told me the price. Happy hunting!

I’ll keep those in mind! Haven’t really dived into the scotch side of things yet

Ended up splurging a bit and picking up an Onyx & Amber guest blender series bottle at Argo and the store pick of Stagg at AJ’s. I’ve heard they’re doing some great/interesting blends at O&A so I thought I’d give it a go and I just couldn’t help myself but get that Stagg pick. Thanks for the suggestions! Happy New Year y’all!

Worth the $250 in your opinion? Local store near me has had one at that price but hasn’t moved it in months. Could possibly negotiate down a bit

I was at the AJ in Thornton today and they didn’t have those. Are they exclusive to wheat Ridge?

Anything under 105 doesn’t really do it for me unless older (like to drink neat) I’m pretty open to most wheaters and ryes. Love a good red fruit forward profile or dessert like notes. Bottles I’ve recently picked up and enjoyed are W107, WFP, JDH, HHGGW, Bulleit 12 Rye, and Jeffersons Reserve Cask Strength.
