Official source · Announcement only · Last checked 2026-07-21
Signal summary
Durham ABC says its annual lottery runs during the fall and winter and that entries are not currently open. The board's official bourbon page—not an estimated date—will control when the next application window is announced.
What is confirmed
Durham ABC's official bourbon page identifies an annual rare-bourbon lottery alongside weekly allocated drops and special release events.
What is not confirmed
No exact 2026 opening date, closing date, bottle list, or drawing date is published on the reviewed page. This record therefore stays outside exact calendar cells.
How to prepare
Read the current eligibility, entry, contact, and pickup rules when the form opens; prior-cycle rules are not a substitute for the next official notice.
Carry this into your market.
Follows remember announcement context. Availability alerts remain gated to fresh inventory-grade evidence.
Turn release context into a live hunt.
Check current signals, monitor your markets, and keep the official source close.
