The entire state is out here and I finally got an answer as to why. (Edit:I went back and reread the email from the spirits buyer at The Party Source, here's what he said:

"Ok, got some news about Coruba. Campari purchased Appleton a little while ago. That means that their supply chain changes to Campari's normal channels. So Kobrand loses Appleton nationally, it goes to Campari, and in Kentucky moves from Republic to Southern. Hence, there's a hiccup in distribution. I presume Coruba will return in all its manifestation from Southern once the dust settles, probably over the next month or two."

Expect Coruba to be switching distributors nationwide, which will cause supply interruptions. So if you can find Coruba stock up. I've been forced to switch to Myers, which I don't care for given its overtly molasses flavour. I'm cutting it 4:1 with Appleton VX. Makes an acceptable Navy Grog that way.
