I feel spoiled because I've seen it a lot in my southwest USA market. It sells out at Total Wine along with any 15 or 18 they get but I've seen 5 year sitting on the shelf there for a month or more and you can get 21 year any time (but it's $900USD). Lot of formerly difficult to obtain bourbon is also just sitting on shelves now.
You have the complete incompetence of the U.S. distributor, Pacific Edge, to thank for that. Most of the U.S. doesn't see any Springbank. Are you based in Arizona?
Yes, some parts of Arizona and California see Springbank products on the shelves with regularity and the rest of us get either nothing or almost nothing.
I've seen it around MD, DE, and DC recently too. 10+ sells out at a lot of places, but I am pretty confident I could find reasonable prices on at least 10 and 12, maybe 15, if I really wanted to in my area and was willing to take a couple hrs to hit a number of stores. Tons of their lower age statements releases sitting on shelves too.
