Valentine’s Day Whiskey Raffle!

Our wonderful friends at Charity Barrel are hosting an incredible raffle with a chance to win one of three exclusive bottles of whiskey!

A donation of $100 gets you one raffle ticket and enters you to win one of the following:

  • A Anderson Club 15-year 86 Proof Bourbon. The yeast strand used to distill this bottle was lost in the fire that took place in 1996 at Heaven Hill Distillery, which makes it a very desirable part of bourbon history
  • A Old Rip Van Winkle 10-year, 107 Proof. The Van Winkle line of products are some of the most sought-after in market place.
  • A Old Carter Batch #1 Barrel Strength Rye; 112.2 proof. The Old Carter lineup of products has risen to the top of the bourbon community of must-have bottles. This Batch 1 is definitely one of them.

1 ticket = 1 chance to win with a max of 100 tickets sold
