Raffle was done.
We phoned the winners.
The odds for getting a bottle turned out to be 1 in 136
We are getting a ton of inquiries about this one. Due to the small amount that is coming to the market, we are going to use the raffle method on this one.
This release we are going to do a raffle for chance to purchase a bottle.
We feel this is fairest way. Feel free to call or email us with questions. We appreciate your business and respect our customers enthusiasm in trying to get these rare bottles (we wish we had enough to go around). You have just as much chance if you sign up on the last day as you do on the first day. Thanks again. Any questions or comments do not hesitate.
Two ways to get raffle tickets
Everyone can get one FREE entry in the lottery. You must come to one of our four stores to sign up for your free raffle ticket.
But we want to also reward all of our regulars that come in the store each week to get Bourbon. So you can get extra entries in the lottery and increase your chances. For each bottle of Bourbon you purchase from the list below you get another raffle ticket for the lottery. No limit.
You must purchase bourbon from this Sazerac Bourbon list (any size or year, excluding 50ml bottles). You can purchase the bourbons at any of our four locations or online.
We know some of these are not in stock at all times. But if they are here, they count towards the lottery. Here is the list
- 1792 Barrel Select
- Blantons
- Bowman's (all types)
- Buffalo Trace
- E H Taylor Jr (all types)
- Eagle Rare
- Stagg Jr.
- W.L. Weller Special Reserve
- Old Charter 8 year Old
- Ancient Age
More information:
- To get the FREE entry, you must enter in person at one of our four locations. No phone or email sign ups.
- Must 21 years of age to enter.
- You can enter as many times as you like when you purchase bottles, 1 entry for each bottle purchased from the Sazerac list above.
- If your name is drawn, you can purchase 1 bottle. If your name is drawn a second time, we will disregard and draw another name.
- You do not need to be present at the raffle. You will be contacted via email/phone.
- You must pick up at the location you signed up.
- You will have 7 days to pick up from date of the drawing or it will go out for sale
- We do not know the exact release date or how much we are getting. We will announce the drawing date as soon as we know.
- At this point the deadline to enter is April 30, 2015. Subject to change depending on the release date.

Thanks for posting the odds. Is there anyway that you could start a Bourbon Reward Club like the Beer Reward Club? I always end up on the losing side of these raffles. As a regular customer, I am beginning to feel frustrated and bit like Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber. See below:

Thanks!
Yes, I understand your frustration. We feel it too. We will probably come up with a Bourbon Reward program, but will wait until we get our new POS system. It should be much easier to use and have more options.
