About this listAllocated bottles
Allocated bourbon is whiskey whose demand is higher than supply, so it is shared out in set amounts rather than sold freely; the term has no legal definition. US alcohol moves through three tiers: the producer sells to a distributor (wholesaler), which sells to retailers and bars. The producer splits its supply among markets, then distributors divide their share among accounts, often favouring their larger customers. Retailers get only a few bottles and decide how to sell them, often by lottery or raffle, one per customer, or to regular customers.
