The post 2023 NC ABC Allocated Bourbon Lotteries appeared first on NC Whiskey.
]]>Given the influx of traffic here, I know people are interested in the schedule of allocated bourbon lotteries for 2023. Unfortunately, no such “official” schedule exists. Each local county/ABC board handles the distribution of allocated products as they best see fit for their stores, community, and customers. While some of these boards elect to use a lottery system to distribute these products, others use preferred customer lists, and some offer them on the shelf for a first-come, first-serve basis. Sometimes a board will make a big announcement for a release, and there will be a…. party… in the parking lot.
Durham ABC has been running their lottery, and announced that they’d finish making calls to winners the week of January 9th.
Wake County has finally opened their entries for their lottery for 2023 releases (despite it being early 2024 already. Entry is open until Valentine’s day, and winners will be announced no later than February 19th. The Wake County ABC Bourbon Lottery is open to Wake County residents only. For more information and regular updates, visit the Wake County ABC website or follow their socials on Facebook.
Entrants will be able to select their priority order of available bourbons offered in the lottery. Here’s the full list:

As for the lotteries, some of these may be offered to county/local residents only (this is how Wake County has handled the process in recent years), while others are open to anyone and everyone. Of course, all entrants to lotteries must be over the age of 21. Most lotteries will be open for one entry per person, though some may limit to one per household. Again, this is all handled at the local level, not by the state.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, entry methods are also handled, of course, by the local ABC board or individual stores. In past years, many counties like Wake, Durham, and Mecklenburg offer an online entry form. Others, like Gibsonville, require an in-person entry. Other lotteries work on a same-day event, where you must come be present, get a number, and hope yours gets called. If you’re curious how to enter lotteries with your local ABC board, ask employees at a local shop.
Typically, the “big” lotteries happen closer to the holiday season. Many of the major allocated releases like the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and Van Winkle releases come out in the mid to late fall, so ABC boards wait for their full allocation to come in before hosting their lottery.
Sometimes, however, boards may do more periodic lotteries. They may not be as chock-full of the ultra-rarities, but they might contain Stagg, Weller, Old Fitzgerald, or other similar-tier products. Again, check with your local ABC store to see how they handle the distribution of these products, and when they might be hosting a lottery. Some ABC boards will have email lists of their own.
If I get wind of new lotteries around the state, I’ll try to keep a running list of them here on this page. Bookmark this page, or sign up for my email list and I’ll keep you all updated when I hear something.
Usually we get information about the following ABC lotteries, but if you hear of something missing, please share!

July was a relatively quiet month as we await the start of the fall release season, but there were some awesome finds. Yellowstone Limited Edition 2022 finally got keyed into the warehouse, and that stock has already started to land in ABC store across the state. We’re also seeing a slate of Wilderness Trail Bourbon finally being distributed to North Carolina. Wilderness Trail has a great reputation across the country, so make sure to grab a bottle if you see one.
WhistlePig 18 Year Double Malt is a high-end bourbon with a $400 price tag. WhistlePig is known for their age-stated premium bourbons, and I suppose if you have the cash burning a whole in your pocket you could try it.

]]>The post Weller Special Reserve In North Carolina appeared first on NC Whiskey.
]]>The green-label Weller Special reserve is the bottom-shelf, entry level expression of Buffalo Trace Distillery’s “Original Wheated Bourbon”. Weller SR is non-age stated and bottled at 90 Proof (45% ABV). In comparison, Weller 12 Year is also 90 proof but (obviously) aged a minimum of 12 years. Other expressions like Weller Antique 107 and Weller Full Proof come in at 107 Proof (53.5% ABV) and 114 Proof (57% ABV) respectively.
Weller Special Reserve is a popular shelf grab in many states because it makes a great cocktail mixer or daily drinker, usually retailing below $30 for a 750mL bottle (but also often comes in larger bottles).
At least in recent years, Weller Special Reserve has not been distributed from its Kentucky distillery to North Carolina. The NC ABC system supposed has a strange relationship with Buffalo Trace Distillery and their allocated bourbons, but that may all just be rumor.
We watch the NC ABC stock lists and special packages lists very closely, however, and were pleased to see Weller Special Reserve pop up in that “Special Packages” category on June 23, 2021. By the looks of things, North Carolina is expecting to sell Weller SR at a standard retail price of $29.80 in ABC stores across the state. As of now, no stock of this whiskey has been reported to have arrived in the state.
It’s unclear whether or not this will be a highly allocated whiskey or not. If it’s available for more than just special order, it will surely fly off the shelves on name recognition alone. I expect the state demand will be similar to that of Buffalo Trace, an equally affordable bourbon that’s not actually easy to get in North Carolina. Certainly some ABC boards will withhold selling bottles in lieu of lotteries, on brand recognition a lone.
If in-person hunting isn’t working out, you might be able to find it (at a premium) through online retailers like Nestor Liquors.
Regardless of the distribution channels, it’s good news for whiskey and bourbon lovers in North Carolina to see more good whiskey distributed to the state. If you want updates on when Weller Special Reserve arrives in North Carolina, subscribe to our mailing list and follow us on Instagram.

]]>The post NC ABC Warehouse Stock and Price Sheet Updates appeared first on NC Whiskey.
]]>One of the pros of the NC ABC system is that no matter where you shop in the state, prices are all the same (and they are usually close to MSRP). The quarterly price sheets give ABC store managers and North Carolina shoppers visibility into the prices set for each quarter. They can also give us a sneak-peak into what new spirits we might expect to see in stores in the coming months.
The Stock Status page is a bit different. The North Carolina ABC system sends all incoming liquor through the Wake County stock warehouse. This central warehouse maintains a stock status sheet on their website that gets updated regularly. This list is primarily targeted towards ABC board purchasers to place orders for their store. Some of the more heavily allocated bourbons are distributed to these boards on a lottery system.
For the rest of us, the average consumer, these resources act as leading indicators of what’s coming in the next few months. Sometimes its predictable, and the state sets prices early when expecting new bottles in the next 1-3 months. Other times, they get stock of something new and have to update the availability.
NC-Whiskey.com watches these lists extremely closely. Below, we’ll keep an updated list of new discoveries in one or both of these sheets. Some bottles are found on the Price Sheet long before they are in stock. When a bottle hits the stock list, you can usually expect to see it in stores within one to two weeks (though it might be longer for some bottles).
This list updates within an hour after changes are found.
You’ll notice that not all of these whiskeys are new, that might just mean they’ve been updated in the NC system. I’ve also limited the list to ABC categories whose names contain “whiskey,” “bourbon,” or “special packages” (the latter of which may include non-whiskey items).

]]>In most parts of the country, Buffalo Trace Bourbon is an easy-to-find staple, often available in 750ml and 1.75L bottles, as well as other sizes. In North Carolina, though, our state ABC system has a fickle relationship with Buffalo Trace Distillery, so our allocation is limited and spotty. This is true of a lot of BT products, like Eagle Rare, Blanton’s, and Weller. We don’t even see Weller Special Reserve in NC ABC stores (it’s the lower price-point of the Wheated Bourbon Weller line).
Recently, it seems like North Carolina has been getting more frequent shipments of Buffalo Trace, though. What used to be a quarterly shipment appears to be monthly, which is good news for NC whiskey hunters. My best advice for finding one of these bottles (they go quick!) is to get to know the employees at your local ABC store. They might not be able to hold a bottle for you, but they can help you understand their own delivery schedule and distribution policies.
The only places you can buy Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey in NC is from a licensed ABC store. Your town, county, or area likely operates a sub-set of the state ABC board, and your board will have to do its part in getting Buffalo Trace shipments from the NC central warehouse in Wake County.
It’s also worth looking into local whiskey and bourbon groups. There are many regional and local Facebook groups where people like to share information about where bottles are showing up and when you should be keeping an eye out.
As previously mentioned, Buffalo Trace isn’t really a “rare” bourbon… at least not in most areas. To that end, online retailers tend to sell it at a pretty reasonable price. Like any other popular consumable commodity, you won’t always find it in stock, but you’re much more likely to find it in stock online than in North Carolina ABCs, unfortunately.
Online liquor orders in North Carolina can be tricky, but it can be done. Some retailers won’t ship to NC because of tax laws. Others will specify that you, the buyer, assume responsibility for any laws North Carolina imposes. You may also find yourself settling for a bit (or a lot) more than NC retail prices. That’s the cost of convenience and accessibility.
If you’re interested in buying Buffalo Trace Straight Bourbon whiskey online, check out either Reserve Bar or 1-877-Spirits. Those a good starting places.
