ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. – Elizabethtown-based nonprofit Give 270 is set to host a bourbon raffle featuring several limited and allocated prizes, including the grand prize: a Weller Millennium. The Bourbon Strong 50-4-50 raffle is set for Wednesday, April 30, and tickets are now on sale for the raffle, which features a total of 50 prizes.
The ultra-aged Weller Millennium is a blend of vintage straight bourbon and wheat whisky that was distilled at the turn of the millennium. Paying homage to W.L. Weller, the release features a blend of whiskeys from 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2006. The Weller Millennium is presented in a crystal decanter with a custom-made, hand-etched crystal topper bearing W.L. Weller’s “W” stamp of quality, and is housed in an illuminated display case.
The second grand prize in the raffle is a pair of Elmer T. Lee bottles, featuring a bottle from 1992 and the Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon. The third grand prize is a Four Roses Al Young 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon.
In addition to the grand prizes, some of the other prizes given away during the raffle will include bottles of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, an Angel’s Envy Cellar Collection bottle, several varieties of Old Carter Very Small Batch and more.
The Bourbon Strong 50-4-50 raffle will take place live on Give 270’s Facebook page and YouTube channel on Wednesday, April 30 at 8 p.m. During the raffle, prizes four through 50 will be drawn, and each of those winning tickets will be returned to the drawing tumbler for the drawing of the three grand prizes.
Tickets are $50 and will be available for purchase until 7 p.m. on the day of the drawing. A total of 3,000 tickets are available for the raffle.
