Eagle Rare 17 from 2001 in Oregon

For those people in Oregon who complain that they never get anything good, here's an interesting story. Buffalo Trace confirms that it recently found a few cases of Eagle Rare 17 from the 2001 release and they were sent to Oregon as part of that state's allocation. I heard from a person there who was thrilled to get a bottle of ER 17, then doubly thrilled to get one from that long-ago release.

Of course, that begs the question, what else has BT misplaced? A few skids of Pappy 23 perhaps?

Same thing happened with some 2000 Saz 18. I know of a retailer who got this in addition to some 2001 ER17

You may well wonder how such a thing can happen, but Sazerac has multiple finished goods warehouses at multiple locations, and in addition to whiskey they sell vodka and everything else, literally millions of cases of spirits a year. It's not hard to imagine how a few dozen 3-bottle cases can slip through the cracks.
