After scouring the DFW metroplex (for those uninitiated, it's the entire area between and including Dallas and Fort Worth in the ginormous state of Texas, north side), I finally found a shop that carries Hamilton consistently. Pogo's Wine and Spirits - http://www.pogoswine.com

Pogo's doesn't have all their rums on the website, and after canvassing at least 40 different liquor stores locally, I can definitely state they carry brands that NOBODY has. And the prices are all reasonable.

Cody is their buyer, and he knows his stuff, we had a really long conversation about the agricole production method. He promised me that if I bought all his stock of Hamilton he would be restocked in about two weeks. (I only bought two 151's, two regulsr and one black strap). I was nervous leaving the others on the shelf, but after talking to him he's basically the rum guy in North Texas, which is why he has stuff that nobody else in the Metroplex has.

I had scored some Lemon Hart randomly at some other shops (never to be found again) and wiped Spec's Plano location out of Hamilton. All requests that I made to reorder the Hamilton went unheeded. I was advised "it wasn't likely". I'm from Houston, I love Spec's, but Pogo's just leaped to my number one stop for rum from here on out.
