About The Tater Tracker

Welcome to The Tater Tracker, your ultimate destination for all things bourbon-related! Whether you're a seasoned bourbon connoisseur or just starting your journey, we're here to be your trusted companion in the exciting world of bourbon hunting.

But what exactly is a Tater? It's a rare and unopened bottle of desirable Whiskey or Bourbon. The term is often used in a derogatory way, referring to collectors who hoard bottles without ever opening them or posting pictures of their finds on social media. However, for us, the name of the site is a bit of snark. We're not the type to collect whiskey just to let it gather dust on a shelf. We're all about sharing and enjoying our finds. While we might hold onto an ultra-rare bottle for a special occasion, you can bet it won't stay sealed for long. We don't sell, offer, or facilitate trades here. Our focus is on providing a consolidated place to find information about how to locate allocated bottles, understand state alcohol distribution processes, participate in lotteries/raffles, and access specific data about when local stores might have products available.

Areas of the Website

The main page - Inventory & Shipments

We've made this website to help Bourbon collectors score some drops, without having to visit every ABC store every day. We're starting in North Carolina.

The Whiskey Shipment Tracker: This list is updated every hour based on the published NC State ABC Warehouse inventory. If it shows a store shipment, that means cases of that liquor have left the state warehouse. If you see inventory at the warehouse, they have it, they just haven't sent it anywhere yet. Whether it's being distributed to individual stores in smaller municipalities or shipped to a local distribution warehouse, when to anticipate product availability is the key.

The Tater Map

New and improved detail on North Carolina ABC Shipments, part detective work, part inferred from our observations, and some of it is taken from public data - this is updated daily, and there is more to come soon here. Check out the beta features, and make sure to login (it's free!) to ensure you get the latest details.

Mecklenburg Store Picks

Mecklenburg Store Picks - We're pulling this data together into one place for you, from the clunky Mecklenburg inventory system, and into a consolidated, searchable page that shows you the price and store availability for the Mecklenburg store picks. Please note that the data is not real-time; it's updated daily and depends on the data reported by the county or observed by our team in the stores.

ABC Store List

We've compiled a comprehensive list of ABC stores, complete with our notes on their inventory, staff recommendations, and our best data on when they received their latest shipment deliveries. Speaking of shipments, keep an eye out for our upcoming blog post where we delve into the fascinating world of ABC shipment details. We'll provide you with insights and behind-the-scenes information on how these shipments work. Stay tuned for more details in our soon to come Blog Post #2!

The Mecklenburg ABC Map

Making the map work involves you, our community - We are working on The Tater Map, which focuses on Mecklenburg and the surrounding counties. It allows you and other collectors to log when you've seen a bottle at a store, so others can head there and score as well. Over time, we'll add more features to this, please send us your suggestions and feedback!
