Common Questions

Bourbon FAQ

Why can't I find allocated bourbon at MSRP anywhere else in Augusta?
Most retailers mark up allocated bottles significantly — sometimes 2-3x MSRP — because the demand far exceeds supply. Top Notch Liquor made a deliberate decision not to do that. We believe these bottles should go to people who appreciate them, not speculators who flip them online. That's the Top Notch promise.
How often do you get W.L. Weller, Blanton's, or E.H. Taylor in stock?
Allocation shipments are controlled by Buffalo Trace and Georgia's distribution network — we receive them as they're released. The best approach is to call us at (706) 925-6691 or stop by regularly. Our loyal customers often find out first because the staff knows them.
Is there a limit on how many allocated bottles I can purchase?
Yes — to ensure fair access for our entire customer community, we typically limit allocated bottles to one per customer per release. This keeps speculative buying to a minimum and gives more Augusta residents the chance to get a bottle.
What makes a bourbon "allocated"?
Allocated bourbons are produced in limited quantities by the distillery and distributed to retailers in small allotments — often just a few bottles per store, per release. Demand massively outstrips supply, which is why speculators mark them up. The most sought-after allocated bourbons in Augusta include the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC), Blanton's Gold, W.L. Weller expressions, and E.H. Taylor releases.
