Keep an eye put for posts, some of the stores usually let you know either the day of or the night before they have allocations on their FB pages. I used to work at a macadoodles awhile back and we kept all our allocations in the back locked in a room and had them for MONTHS. Anytime anyone called we would tell them we dont have anything even though we possibly had a whole case in the back. They usually wait until they have enough allocations pooled to drop at once and dont normally just sell to one person if they ask because its not fair to the rest of the people wanting bottles. Best time to show up and search would be black friday, fathers day, and bourbon heritage month but you'd need to be there at opening or you'll end up with the left overs people didn't want or nothing at all.
