Due to travel and airline snafus (understatement of the year on that one), I did not get the opportunity to do any tastings for tonight’s post. But this morning, I received a very nice email for a charity raffle to benefit the unhoused in Louisville, KY. And I thought I’d share that with you instead of leaving you without content. As you know, I’m a softy for charities. The entire press release, along with links, have been published below.
In honor of the eleventh annual Bourbon Mixer, the Whisky Chicks and Bourbon Brotherhood are thrilled to announce two rare bourbon raffles benefiting the Coalition for the Homeless: a full six-bottle Pappy Van Winkle flight, and an eleven bottle, rare Blanton's collection.
GET TICKETS
One lucky winner will be the owner of all six bottles of the coveted Pappy Van Winkle Collection:
🥃 Old Rip Van Winkle 10-Year Bourbon
🥃 Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Lot B Bourbon
🥃 Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye Whiskey – 13 Year
🥃 Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve – 15 Year
🥃 Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve – 20 year
🥃 Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve – 23 year
Pappy Van Winkle raffle tickets cost $100 and are expected to sell out quickly, as they are limited to only 1,000 tickets (a much lower number than other Pappy raffles!).
One lucky winner will also own the eleven bottle Blanton's collection:
🥃 8 bottles of Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon, each with a different topper to spell out "BLANTONS"
🥃 Blanton's Straight from the Barrel (Cask Strength)
🥃 Blanton's Gold
🥃 Blanton's Green Label - Special Reserve
Blanton's raffle tickets cost $50 each and are limited to just 1,000, too.
GET TICKETS
The raffle winners will be drawn on Saturday, August 17, at 9pm, at the tenth annual Bourbon Mixer, held at the Olmsted from 6:30-10:30pm, of which the Bourbon Flight is a sponsor. Winners need not be present. For more details about the event—including an exciting silent auction—and to get tickets to the Mardi Gras themed event, see www.bourbonmixer.com.
