Tickets run through Wednesday 21 October, with the live drawing to be held that evening via nonprofit partner Give 270.

Bonus prizes include a bottle of Daniel Weller, two bottles of Weller Single Barrel, two bottles of Weller C.Y.P.B., two bottles of Weller 12 Year and two bottles of Weller Full Proof.

Quick whisky question
Single malt is everywhere, but what does it mean? We want to know what the word “single” means to you. Three quick questions, under a minute.
“This raffle gives us a unique opportunity to raise funds while supporting our mission of helping veterans and military personnel build a stronger financial future,” said Michael Smith, VAREP Northern Kentucky Chapter founding president. “We’re grateful to Give 270 for their partnership and for everyone who participates in supporting our work.”
The raffle is presented in partnership with Elizabethtown-based nonprofit Give 270. The organization launched bourbonraffles.org in 2024 to expand fundraising opportunities for a broader range of nonprofits and community initiatives.
Officially titled Bourbon Raffles Serial No. 016, the drawing will take place live on Give 270’s Facebook page and YouTube channel on Wednesday 21 October at 8pm, following the group’s weekly Whiskey Wednesdays raffle.

READ THE STORYTickets are priced at US$100 (£75) each and will remain available until 7pm on the day of the drawing. A total of 500 tickets are available, with no limit per individual, subject to availability.
The prizes draw on one of American whiskey’s most sought-after labels. The W.L. Weller brand is built on the pioneering idea of swapping rye for wheat to produce a softer, smoother bourbon.
The brand’s pinnacle expression anchors the grand prize. William Larue Weller has been released annually since 2005 as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC), a lineup of five limited-edition expressions that has become the most anticipated fall release in American whiskey.
That pedigree has long linked the line to Kentucky’s most coveted bottlings. Sharing a mash bill with the legendary Pappy Van Winkle, this high-proof wheater always showcases a rich and complex character.
