As an avid collector and enthusiast of rare and unique bottles, I am always on the lookout for limited edition releases like the Heaven's Door Decade Series. When I first heard about this particular bottle, I was intrigued by its age statement of 10 years, which is quite a rarity in the world of whiskey. Naturally, I was eager to get my hands on a bottle and see if it lived up to the hype.
However, I must admit that I initially had concerns about the availability of the Heaven's Door Decade Series in my area, Northern Colorado (NoCo). Limited edition releases often have a limited distribution, and it can be quite challenging to find them in smaller markets like mine. Nonetheless, I was determined to track down this bottle and add it to my collection.
To my surprise, after purchasing the Heaven's Door Decade Series, I started seeing it available in almost all of my local hunting locations. It seemed that this particular release was not as elusive as I had anticipated. The bottle was prominently displayed on the shelves of various liquor stores, both large chains and smaller boutique shops. It was even available in some online retailers that offered shipping to my area.
This newfound availability of the Heaven's Door Decade Series in NoCo made me wonder if it was a regional phenomenon or if it was more widely distributed. To find out, I reached out to fellow whiskey enthusiasts and collectors from different parts of the country. I was surprised to learn that the bottle was also readily available in their areas, including major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
Upon reflection, I realized that the Heaven's Door Decade Series was likely not as hard to find as I had initially thought. While it may not be as widely available as some mass-produced brands, it seems to have been distributed in a manner that reaches a significant number of markets across the United States. This wider distribution could be attributed to the growing popularity of celebrity-backed spirits, as Heaven's Door is co-owned by legendary musician Bob Dylan.
Although I had initially expected the Heaven's Door Decade Series to be a hard-to-find bottle in NoCo, it turned out to be more readily available than I had anticipated. The bottle was prominently displayed in various local liquor stores and was even available online. This widespread availability also seemed to extend to other parts of the country, suggesting that the distribution of this particular release was more extensive than I had initially assumed. the Heaven's Door Decade Series did not disappoint as one of my first fall bottle finds, and I am delighted to have it in my collection.
