Give 270 has added an exclusive Jim Gaffigan-signed bourbon collection to its Whiskey Wednesdays Round 17 raffle series, featuring six single barrel selections and VIP show tickets. The Elizabethtown, Kentucky, nonprofit announced that the prize package includes backstage meet-and-greet access with the comedian.

The collection features five unreleased single barrel bourbons personally selected and signed by Gaffigan.

These include Old Forester Single Barrel at 128.8 proof, Bardstown Bourbon Company Single Barrel Finished Rye at 124.8 proof, Nashville Barrel Company Bourbon at 120.2 proof, Buzzard’s Roost Toasted Single Barrel at 112.2 proof, and Peerless Kentucky Straight Bourbon at 113.3 proof.

Winners will also receive one of Gaffigan’s personal bottles of Fathertime Middle Child Mystery: Empty Nester Strength at 121.4 proof.

The prize correlates with Gaffigan’s recently released bourbon-focused standup comedy special, filmed in Louisville and available on his YouTube channel.

Gaffigan co-founded Fathertime Bourbon with college friend Stu Pollard in 2024, launching the small-batch bourbon line earlier this year.

“We at Give 270 are thrilled to be one of the nonprofits selected to give away this incredible prize package,” said Eric Clemens, chairman of Give 270. “The chance to win this one-of-a-kind bourbon set, paired with an opportunity to see Jim live, is an awesome way for our community to have fun while giving back.”

Give 270 is among six nonprofits chosen to receive the special bottle sets from Gaffigan.

The organization’s weekly Whiskey Wednesdays raffles also feature additional prizes, including a six-bottle Pappy Van Winkle vertical as the grand prize.

Other weekly prizes include Willet 8-Year Rye MANABOUTTOWN Give 270 Single Barrel, two bottles of Luca Mariano Signature Bourbon, and Buffalo Trace Give 270 Sazerac Barrel Select 1L.

All proceeds benefit CASA of the Heartland, which advocates for abused and neglected children across five Kentucky counties.

The raffles take place live on Give 270’s YouTube channel each Wednesday at 8 p.m. through December 17.

Tickets are priced at US$5 each with no purchase limits. You can purchase your tickets at give270.org.
