Dang, i asked around at several stores and they all told me their distribution people could not deliver to OK.
It probably has to do with wholesale volume in Oklahoma and liquor stores being restricted to buying from Oklahoma wholesalers. Wholesalers who do enough volume of a product will usually get allocation status, meaning they are entitled to first dibs on X number of whatever product within a certain period. If those can't move that product within that period, then whatever is left is available to other wholesalers. Because the product itself is a fairly limited run, either the manufacturer or the distributors above the wholesalers hold back inventory for the money season (Christmas). A market with a relatively small amount of customers (like Oklahoma) is going to get the short end of that stick. Some wholesalers will run the same game with retailers, too.
99% of liquor that is produced is available at any time in Oklahoma. Of the remaining 1%, 90% of that is available during a money season. What a lot of stores mean by "You can't get that in Oklahoma" (with liquor) is "we don't want to do a special order for you". Some will want you to buy the entire case (fair enough), but the ones run by salespeople who know their customers won't mind ordering a case even if you're buying a single.
The same thing happens in the cigar world (though twice a year - Fathers' Day and Christmas). The cigar shops are more straight up about saying "check back closer to X".
That makes more sense. Thanks!
