Get ready, bourbon connoisseurs; the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra is holding its annual rare bourbon raffle on May 20.
The raffle helps fund the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra’s free education outreach concerts for 260 regional schools and free concerts in Devou and Tower Parks that have become a summer tradition in Northern Kentucky.
The Party Source has donated a 6-bottle set (2022 release) of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon, a Woodford Reserve Baccarat edition, and 20 rare bourbons for the fundraiser.
Tickets for the November 2022 release of Old Rip and Pappy Van Winkle complete vertical set are $100 per chance (limited to 650 tickets). One winner will be drawn to win all six bottles.
A second raffle will be held following the Pappy drawing for the Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition, finished three years in XO Cognac barrels and presented in a Baccarat crystal decanter and display case. Tickets are $50 and are limited to 300 chances.
The third raffle will include 20 hard-to-find bourbons with 20 winners. The bourbons include:
- Knob Creek 18-year – 30th Anniversary
- Smoke Wagon Rare and Limited (along with eight others for an eight-bottle lot)
- Willett eight-year
- Michter’s Barrel Strength and Toasted Barrel Finish (two-bottle lot)
- Weller Antique, full proof, and 12-year original
This raffle is $25 per chance. One ticket will be drawn for each bourbon or lot.
The drawing will be live-streamed on the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra’s website and Facebook Live at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 20. Ticket sales end at 4 p.m. on May 20.
Winners do not need to be present to win. Winners will be notified by email and sent instructions on picking up their prize in person or via a representative with the proper identification.
