Pappy Season Returns, and South Florida's Liquor Stores Already Know It

Buffalo Trace has confirmed its 2026 Pappy Van Winkle lineup, with bottles arriving this fall — the same window when the state's most sought-after bourbon quietly reshapes waitlists from Palm Beach package stores to Naples steakhouse back bars. Nobody advertises an allocation; everybody who gets one hears about it the same week. The distillery's confirmation is the starting gun, not the delivery, but from here it's a short, familiar countdown to the actual bottles landing on actual shelves.
