Alabama ABC sweepstakes

Alabama folks,
I got drawn for the ABC allocated liquor sweepstakes/buy. Eastchase in East Montgomery location. I’m #35 in line.
Probably a stupid question, but does anyone have any idea what I can expect to get a shot at? Pappy any year? Stagg jr? Elmer T?
Just curious if anyone has had their number called and what they ended up with.

Thank You
I haven’t seen the list of what each location is allocated, but obviously going to go and see. Hoping some people slip up ahead of me.

You’re welcome.
The link that I put in my post will bring you to a pdf for all of the allocations being released on 3/22. It’s broken down by store so you should see everything that’s going to be available at that location.

For those unfamiliar with this…does this mean that the OP has his pick of whatever is available at whatever store he goes to?
How does this work?

Congrats! But Alabama ABC is a monopoly and a racket and should be disbanded. Some Pre Prohibition shite still going on. This state is arse backwards on booze, weed, and the lottery/gambling.

I happened to read your post as I had storm trackers up on my TV looking for tornadoes and didn’t notice the link. Priorities and all. Thanks again, I’ll check it out.

Agree on all points.

The State government of Alabama holds a monopoly on liquor sales in the state. All liquor must pass the hands of daddy government. Each quarter they hold a sweepstakes where, if you get drawn, you can buy allocated liquor at a decent price. I’ve been entering for the past few years and just got drawn.
There’s people on this board that know a lot more about it than I do and can probably correct me.

Thanks!
So you got #35 in line. Does this designate a time / date you can show up? And you just get a pick of X bottles from whatever is left from that list?
This is sort of fascinating to me.

At #35 at that store, which is probably the largest store in the state, you'll have a decent shot at the most sought after bottles, OWA/Weller FP/OF decanter/Stagg Jr. I imagine they'd have 2 cases of each (6 bottles per case). Might have 3 cases of the OWA. I imagine the Weller/OF decanter/OF 1924 will all be table 1, along with the HH 18 yr. Most of everything else is table 2.
The state does four quarterly lotteries, with the most allocated bottles held until the last one in December. Used to have only one big lottery at the end of the year, but they got tired of over-night lines at the monthly releases and stores dealing with the hassle.
Thought there'd be a JD14 year in this one, but apparently not.

Here’s what I’m looking at:
Stagg is definitely on my list. That 18 year Elijah Craig is up there as well. Based on that list I shouldn’t come away empty handed regardless.
I was living in Pike Road when they built that store. All hate for the ABC aside, it’s a good store. It’s about an hour’s drive for me now, but it gives the frau a chance to go to Costco and that overpriced pita place next door.

I think there was some sort of idyllic poster on here that ran for state rep basically with that platform.

Stagg and an Elijah Craig toasted single barrel store pick. Not mad.
I’m real happy with this one. Probably blew my load early. But I like Elijah Craig and I’m no bourbon expert.
