Illinois Q1 Allocated Release Events - April 2024

UPDATE:

I apologize I should have included more information as I have received some questions.

We have not sent out the invites yet for the noon event as it goes until April 1st which is the end of the quarter. The morning of April 1, I will run the report and email the top 50 people. Since these are allocations from our IL wholesalers, we are only counting purchased made in IL as a way to continue to support them as they give us these allocations. We sincerely appreciate your business on whichever side of the river you shop on, and hope you understand we have to deal with a skrewy liquor system/laws and try to do the best we can. The IL locations are vastly better during Q1 where MO we have only received Weller Special, Blantons, Eagle Rare, EH Taylor Small Batch, Elijah 18yr, and Caribou Crossing this first quarter. We do have a release planned in MO on those items here shortly. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly or Paul, the IL store manager. 

Thanks, Todd Randall

Good afternoon! As promised, we are going to start doing some planned release events. We are kicking off the first two events this April with the conclusion of the first quarter. Competition is tough these days as there are so many places you can purchase your beverages, and we sincerely appreciate your business. Please see below for information on the first events.   

SATURDAY, APRIL 6TH: Random Allocated Raffle 10am

Spin to Win! Everyone is invited & here's how the game will go:
Everyone in line will receive a raffle ticket (MUST be in line by 10am, no exceptions!) The first number called will be able to spin the wheel for a chance to purchase the bottle the spin lands on. There are 12 spots on the wheel. Once that bottle has been won and purchased, that space now becomes blank. If you elect to not receive the bottle, unfortunately you won't be able to spin again. If you spin and it lands on an empty space, you didn't win a chance to purchase and the next ticket number is called. We will continue this until all 11 bottles have been won. There is no advantage of being the first in line, so you don't have to rush to get here. However, you MUST be in line by 10am as we will start handing out tickets to the end of the line at 10am sharp.
