    Just the regular Bourbon County, not any of the variants. My friend saw the bottle I have stored up and he wants to try it.

    I am from the Des Moines area, so preferably it would be close around that area. But there seems to be no limit on how far I'll travel for beer!

    About a month ago I saw it available at some small northern MN bottle shops. At this point your only options are small shops with limited traffic or those that mark up the price for "cellar sales" such as MGM.

    You can always trade for one too, shouldn't be too hard to land a bottle.

    This is probably your best option.

    Otherwise, Hi-Lake Liquors in south minneapolis (obviously not close to you...) had them for $20 a bottle awhile back. Not sure if they still do.

    That's ridiculous! 2 x Retail. Those guys should be ashamed of themselves for charging that much. At that price, trading is a definite viable option unless your friend just wants 1 bottle. Then have at it.

    If you just want one bottle I've got a spare I could let go for cost, I'm in Cedar Rapids though :/

    FWIW, St. Louis had it instantly sell out on Black Friday but there have been multiple releases at Fields Foods including one yesterday but just the regular and sold out instantly as expected.

    10-20 bottles in the cooler at Callahan's Liquor in South Sioux City, Nebraska. $10/per.

    How far would you drive for this $10 bottle?

    Someone just posted yesterday they found 3 bottles at a municipal liquor store by Rochester. $10. So still out there somewhere.

    Wonder if this stock has been sitting since November or whether they've pulled a bunch of cases from somewhere it hadn't sold and are spreading it out through distribution channels?
