Buffalo Trace is so rare in my area, people will follow the ABC trucks to the store at 4 am, wait for Hours, go in as soon as they're open, and buy up whole cases.
For Rip, you have to enter a "lottery" with the VA -ABC Authority online, and be chosen for the chance to purchase.
I had a friend in Maryland and used to visit once a month. I could get as much BT there as I liked, for about $5 cheaper a bottle. Got desperate last month and called the store to see if they had any in stock. I was willing to drive up there for it. They were also out of stock. Apparently the Yankees finally got on board the bandwagon and there's a shortage up there, too.
