Kentucky
Kentucky is a license state, not a control state: private retailers set their own prices. Allocated bottles move through retailer raffles, store drops and distillery gift-shop releases.

How allocation works
Each retailer and distillery runs its own system (raffles, points programs, first-come drops, online lotteries). No statewide program exists.
Where to check
Distillery websites and newsrooms; individual retailers.
Pricing
Prices vary by retailer; BarrelDex will show curated ranges with dates rather than a single state price.
