It was in stock on a Tuesday. You were in a meeting.

The problem

The people getting these bottles aren't luckier than you.

They're just looking at the right page at the right second. That's the only edge there is, and it's the one thing a man with a job cannot have. A bottle you've wanted for two years can appear and sell out between two meetings, and nothing tells you it happened.

The part nobody else does

Most of what we find, you can't legally buy. We tell you which.

Direct shipping of spirits is prohibited in the large majority of states. Anyone can scrape a page and tell you a bottle exists somewhere. That is close to useless on its own — it sends you to a checkout that will reject you, or on a drive you didn't agree to.

Set your state once with /state. From then on every alert says which of three things is true: it ships to you, it's pickup only and here's how far, or it's a lottery you'd have to enter locally. When we can't establish that you're allowed to buy something, we say so rather than guess.

How it works

Tell it what you want. Then leave it alone.

Three depths of the same watch

A hunt is set on a bottle. Where a source also runs a gated programme — a vault, a lottery, an allocation window — the same hunt reaches you earlier, in stages.

Why it doesn't cry wolf

A watch on Weller 12 doesn't fire for Weller Antique, for a gift set, for a 50ml miniature, or for a tequila finished in Weller barrels — which is a real product that a keyword search returns and simpler tools alert on. We match the bottle, not the word. When a check is ambiguous, it stays quiet.

Why it's worth it

You don't need this to work every week. You need it to work once.

These bottles have a shelf price and a real-world price, and the gap is not small. Catching a single one in a year covers the subscription several times over.

Figures are illustrative and vary a lot by market — check your own before treating them as a number. We are not a reseller, we don't broker bottles, and we take no cut of anything you buy. What you do with a bottle is your business; we'd rather you drank it.

What we won't do

This corner of the hobby is full of people promising too much.

So here is what we won't claim, won't ask for, and won't do. Hold us to it.

We can't promise we'll catch everything.

We check the sources listed below and nothing else. A bottle that appears somewhere we don't watch is a bottle we'll miss, and if a retailer changes their site overnight our detection can lag until we fix it. Anyone in this business telling you otherwise is selling you something.

Coverage

What we watch today — and only that.

Thirteen sources are live across five platforms. Each went live only after we confirmed a real signal on it, and more are added the same way.

• Virginia ABC — every state store, including the allocated lottery Virginia live
• NH Liquor & Wine Outlet — every state outlet New Hampshire live
• Frugal MacDoogal Nashville live
• PA Liquor Control Board — the limited-release lottery manifest, before entry closes Pennsylvania live
• Nine independent retailers that ship — Seelbach's, HiProof, Prime Barrel and others KY, CA, NY, FL, IL, GA live
• More state systems and independent retailers in progress

Watching something we're not? Tell us the retailer — coverage gets built where members actually buy.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

How does it know what I'm looking for?

You name bottles, not stores. /watch weller 12 and we'll tell you wherever it turns up. We match on the specific bottle, so Weller 12 never fires for Weller Antique — or for a tequila finished in Weller barrels, which is a real thing that trips up simpler tools.

Will you tell me about bottles I can't buy?

Not without saying so. Spirits shipping is prohibited in nearly every state, so an alert is only useful if you can complete the purchase. Set your state with /state and every find tells you whether it ships to you, is in-store pickup, or is a lottery. If a bottle is only obtainable somewhere you'd have to drive, we say that plainly rather than hiding it — plenty of people will make the trip.

How fast are the alerts?

We re-check inventory every few minutes and DM you when something newly appears. You won't get pinged repeatedly for the same bottle sitting on a shelf — only when it shows up, and again if it sells out and returns.

Do you need my retailer account or password?

No. Never. We read publicly available inventory. Where a retailer requires your own membership, you get a personal forwarding address instead — we don't see or store a password.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Type /cancel in Discord — the same place you signed up — and it takes about thirty seconds. No cancellation fee. Alerts run through the end of the period you've already paid for. We don't prorate or refund partial months.

Can you guarantee you'll find everything?

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. We cover the sources listed above, and we're adding more — but a bottle that appears somewhere we don't watch is a bottle we'll miss. Every check is built to stay silent rather than risk a false alarm: we'd rather miss than cry wolf.

The next one turns up whether you're watching or not.

Be the one who hears about it in time. Seven days free, no charge until the trial ends.
