What is allocated bourbon?

In the world of whiskey, few terms generate as much excitement as “allocated bourbon.” But what does it mean, and why does it matter to bourbon enthusiasts? Why does this list of allocated bourbon matter?

Allocated bourbon refers to bottles that are only available in limited quantities. Distilleries allocate these bottles to specific retailers, bars, and restaurants, often based on their sales performance or relationship with the distillery. Because of their scarcity, these bourbons are highly sought after and can command high prices on the secondary market.

One of the most well-known allocated bourbons is the Pappy Van Winkle line from the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery. These bourbons are released once a year in very limited quantities, leading to a frenzy among bourbon enthusiasts trying to get their hands on a bottle.

Another example is the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, a series of five different bourbons that are released annually. Each bottle in the collection is unique, offering a different flavor profile and aging process.

The allure of allocated bourbon isn’t just about scarcity, though. These bourbons are often some of the highest quality offerings from a distillery. They’re made using the best ingredients and aged for longer periods, resulting in a richer, more complex flavor profile.

Why is Allocated Bourbon So Expensive?

The world of allocated bourbon isn’t without controversy. The high demand and limited supply have led to a secondary market where bottles can sell for many times their retail price. Some enthusiasts argue that this goes against the spirit of bourbon, turning a drink that was once known for its affordability into a luxury item.

Despite this, the excitement around allocated bourbon shows no signs of slowing down. For many bourbon enthusiasts, the thrill of the hunt is part of the appeal. And when they finally get their hands on that elusive bottle, it makes the taste all the sweeter.

Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of whiskey, allocated bourbon offers an exciting and rewarding journey. It’s not every day you get to taste such a rare and special spirit!
