Pappy Van Winkle Rare Bourbon Raffle

The final emails just went out. 
Thank you everyone for all of the support this year. 
We wish we had more to go around.  Thanks again


Also decided as people have asked - next year the Pappy/Rare Bourbon will be based on purchases starting December 1, 2016 until it is released next year.  Should be right around 12 months worth.  I just wanted to have a starting place planned already.  So your current purchase will be counting towards next year's raffle.  
This is if we do it the same way.  The current method is not set in stone.  We will evaluate the whole process in January and see if we decide to tweak it or change it completely.   But if we stick with a similar process, December 1st, 2016 will be the start date.  The allocations get smaller and smaller each year, so the odds will keep going down.  I want to emphasize that getting a bottle of Pappy is very slim odds.  We do not know what we will get next year.  I do not want to give false hopes.

Yes, I will. Another waive of emails will go out today. This should be the last one.

Just a thanks to TWCP for all the hard work. I know this program must be a pain in the rear some days.
I finally won a lottery draw after several years of trying. Didn't get pappy, but I'm still very happy about my bottle choice. To anyone with doubt, the system does work because I'm not a big money spender or large volume drinker.
Please keep up the good work as your the only chance I have in STL now to buy any of this stuff for normal prices!

Thank you, I am glad you finally got a bottle. If at sometime in January, I am bored, I might take a look at the winners and see how it spread out as far as number of lottery tickets each winner had.

Paul, I too am not a big spender, but I was a lucky winner last year. I know it's tough to deal with small volume and large demand. I understand your dilemma. Keep the faith. TWCP is and will be my favorite Spirits Store. Kudos!
