Been a while, but I thought Id post up here.
My buddy that is a distributor in lexington texted me today. Pappy has shipped already to TN and went out this morning. The state of KY he tells me is expected to ship friday. I have not heard of any other stores getting theirs outside of TN, I would start keeping an eye out if you are on any waiting lists.
He is pretty reliable considering he got me a bottle of 20 in May before it hit the shelf at Liquor Barn.
Also, from what I have been told, at least in the state of KY, pappy was shipping 2-3 times a year until now. The distributor was holding back inventory and making shipments in the fall and again around Derby (bought one last may). Sazerac stopped this and it is back to shipping once a year, or at least that is the belief.
If you are able to get your hands on a bottle of 23, this is expected to be the last batch of 100% weller juice and everything else on out will be buffalo trace. With that being said, it has been rumored that weller would be reopening but I haven't heard anything else about it, if anyone else can shed light on it then please do. It could be possible since BT just recently went international.
Good Luck to everyone looking for Pappy this season. Hopefully I'll get my hands on some but I'll probably start getting my hands on more WL Weller 12 year while I can.
