Frequently Asked Questions

How does Wooden Cork source and authenticate spirits?

Wooden Cork purchases exclusively through licensed US state distributors and importers — the same regulated supply chain used by every licensed retail liquor store in the country. This distribution chain runs from producer to state distributor to licensed retail account, with documentation at each step. Every bottle in Wooden Cork’s inventory has a traceable path from distillery to warehouse to shipment. This means no grey market product, no secondary market sourcing, and no counterfeit risk from unlicensed resellers. Every order ships with adult-signature delivery, sealed and intact, with state-appropriate tax collection on all transactions. For rare and allocated bottles — Pappy Van Winkle, Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel, allocated Japanese whisky — the licensed distribution chain is also the only supply path that produces bottles at their actual retail pricing rather than secondary market multiples.

What is the difference between allocated and limited spirits, and how does availability work?

Allocated spirits are produced in genuinely limited quantities relative to consumer demand — not as a marketing strategy, but as a structural reality of production timelines. A 15-year-old bourbon requires 15 years in barrel before release; the supply available today was determined by distillation decisions made 15 years ago, long before current demand reached its level. Distilleries distribute this finite supply through a tiered system: from producer to state distributor, who allocates a portion to each licensed retail account based on purchase history and market. Major retailers may receive only a few bottles of the most sought-after expressions per allocation cycle. Limited editions are different — they are produced at normal scale but released in a single finite batch rather than continuously. Wooden Cork updates inventory as allocation arrives and notifies registered customers when specific expressions become available. The practical implication: checking back regularly and acting quickly when allocated bottles appear is the only strategy that works at retail pricing.
