Benefiting
FIRST PRIZE: ULTIMATE PAPPY VAN WINKLE BOURBON COLLECTION (6 bottles)
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve is the flagship brand of bourbon whiskey owned by the "Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery" company. It is distilled and bottled by the Sazerac Company at its Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve is often regarded as one of the finest bourbons in the world, and can be extremely difficult to find due to its very low production and high demand.
This collection includes:
Collectors value this 6-bottle set currently at around $15,200-17,500
TASTING NOTESWhile most bourbon is made from a mash of corn, rye and barley, the Van Winkle recipe calls for a sweeter mix of corn, wheat and barley malt. The wheat allows for more graceful aging. All Pappy Van Winkle bourbon is aged in new, charred oak barrels.
SECOND PRIZE: WOODFORD RESERVE BACCARAT (1 bottle)
Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition is crafted by uniquely finishing the most flavorful and balanced Kentucky Bourbon in select XO Cognac casks for 3 years. The result is the best of both spirits - a balance of crisp American and French oak notes, complex fruit character, subtle spiciness and a creamy confectionary finish in a beautiful Baccarat Crystal vessel specially commissioned by Woodford Reserve.
Valued at over $2,000
THIRD PRIZE: BLANTON'S BLACK AND TAKARA RED SINGLE BARREL BOURBON (2 bottles)
The essential collection for connoisseurs of Blanton's Japanese editions, Blanton's Japanese Vertical Collection combines some of the acclaimed distiller's most sought after export-only bottles, such as the acclaimed 'Black Label' Single Barrel Bourbon and the ever-elusive 'Takara Red' Edition. A rare opportunity to own this exquisitely crafted collection, the bundle contains one bottle of each of the abovementioned varieties, released exclusively in export markets outside of the US.
FOURTH PRIZE: FOUR ROSES SUPER PREMIUM JAPANESE RELEASE BOURBON WHISKEY
This bourbon can only be found in Japan, a fact that is at first confusing until you remember that in 2002, Kirin Brewery Company purchased Four Roses. The bourbon is distilled and aged at the Four Roses distillery in Kentucky before it is shipped to Japan to be bottled. The bottle features the classic Four Roses flower symbol in metal.
FIFTH PRIZE: WILLETT FAMILY ESTATE 3 YEAR RYE WHISKEY
Willett Distillery is located in Bardstown, Kentucky. The Willett Family Estate 3 Year Rye Whiskey is made in small batches, is 110 proof, and comes with a price tag of around $55. The whiskey is a blend of two mash bills, the 1st being 74% rye, 11% corn, and 15% malted barley, and the other being 51% rye, 34% corn, and 15% malted barley. These Willett releases have become more sought after over the last couple of years as the distillery has been releasing 4, 7, and 10-year-old versions of the offering as well.
