Hunting Unicorn Bourbon: Mr. Finnster’s Guide to Allocated Whiskey
Some chase power. Some chase fame. The truly refined? They chase allocated bourbon—the liquid gold of the whiskey world. Rare. Exclusive. Impossible to find… unless you know the game.
Lucky for you, I, Mr. Finnster, have mastered the art of the hunt. 🥃🐾
What’s the Big Deal
Distilleries don’t just sell allocated bourbon. They release it—like a royal decree. Small batches. Big demand. Blink, and it’s gone. Think Pappy Van Winkle, Weller 12, and Blanton’s. You don’t buy these; you earn them.
How to Get Your Paws on One
🔸 Make Friends, Not Enemies
The liquor store owner holds the keys to the kingdom. Be a regular, not a raider—charm wins bottles.
🔸 Stay in the Bourbon Loop
Follow Breaking Bourbon, Mash & Drum, and retailer alerts. Knowledge is leverage.
🔸 Enter the Bourbon Hunger Games
Lotteries, store raffles, secret lists—it’s survival of the luckiest.
🔸 Travel Like a Whiskey Spy
Some states are goldmines. Research. Road trip. Return victorious.
🔸 Enjoy the Chase
The hunt is the story. The pour is the reward. The sip? That’s the legend.
The Final Toast
Allocated bourbon isn’t just whiskey—it’s a conquest. Whether you land the prize or not, pour what you’ve got, raise a glass, and savor the game.
Cheers, my fellow seekers. May your patience be long and your bourbon never empty.
