Four Roses has added quite a few markets in the last year and by the end of 2008, it should be in about half of the U.S., both in terms of the number of states and geographically, as they all seem to be east of the Mississippi at this point.
It's supposed to be the full line: yellow label, single barrel and small batch, as well as the special editions, but some stores don't seem to be carrying the yellow label, which is the lowest-priced 4R expression.
Four Roses is good about information but they're only able to announce expansion markets shortly before they go into them. There may be several reasons for this, but one is that they genuinely don't know how many new markets they can handle, nor when, because it's all based on having enough product available.
