For those of us in VA, the ABC now has a lottery process for various low-supply products. That's the good news. The bad news is that they're using said lottery for things I used to find (as recently as last year!) regularly on ABC shelves, including stuff distilled in VA (like the Bowman limited releases), Stagg Jr., Orphan Barrel, etc.

I've yet to win the chance to buy a bottle in any VA ABC lottery, either. The ones that start tomorrow are for a Bowman's wheated bourbon ($70) and Whistle Pig 15 ($199 ).

My goodness, Barterhouse and Forged Oak as lottery products? When they're (1) not really super-premium products and (2) readily available in other states? Mitcher's 10-year as a lottery product? Stagg Jr. as a lottery?!

Something tells me this is VA ABC's way of being even more crooked than they were before.
