Davesnothere Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The state of Alabama has monthly allocation drops, usually the third Saturday of every month which we enjoy attending, but this thread is about the yearly allocation lottery. This is the yearly release that has the Pappys and other highly allocated spirits. We're still new to the bourbon community and this was our first time entering the yearly lottery. My wife and oldest son also entered but mine was the only name to be drawn. I'm number 86 so I expect the most desirable bottles to be gone by the time my number is called, but you never know. I really don't have anything else to say right now, the list of available bottles should be released next week and the allocation day is December 10. I'm pretty psyched! I'll report what I was able to snag. https://alabcboard.gov/stores/events/productsweepstakes I'll post some pics of what I was able to pickup in the last couple of monthly allocation drops in the What Bourbon did you purchase Fall 2022. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mal00768 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Good luck! Also one of the rules here is that newbies have to send everyone else a sample. Edited November 13, 2022 by mal00768 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesnothere Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Well, the list was published, but they didn't indicate the quantities available. I'm number 86 out of 100 so we'll see what happens.... https://alabcboard.gov/stores/events/productsweepstakes/priceandproducts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesnothere Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Well today was the day. I was pleasantly surprised at the selection that was left by the time it was my turn to enter the store. Apparently 22 people in front of me didn't show so moved up from 86 to 64.. These are my Tier 4 selections. You could pick two of each label. Edited December 11, 2022 by Davesnothere spelling 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesnothere Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 These are my Tier 3 selections. You could pick one of each label 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesnothere Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 These are my Tier 1 and tier two selections. You could on pick one bottle from Tier one. I chose the Old Rip from what was left. All the Pappy's, Michter's 20's, and George T. Staggs were gone. You could pick two different bottles from Tier 2. Tier 2 was the hardest decision I've had to make in a long time. There were so many great bottles to choose from. All in all it was a good day. And the best part is since it's run by the state all bottles were MSRP. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind me asking what city store #53 is in? Yes, correct. one from tier one, two from tier two, one of each label from tier three, and two of each label from tier four. Store 53 is in Madison, about a 20 minute drive for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
