You’ll have a chance to bid on a full six-bottle Pappy Van Winkle flight (only 1000 tickets will be sold for $100 each) , and nine bottles from the Blanton collection (only 1000 tickets will be sold for $50 each).

The raffle winners will be drawn at this year’s Bourbon Mixer (called the KenTiki Bourbon Bash) on Saturday, August 23 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Olmstead in Louisville. There will also be a silent auction at the event.  For more information on the event, go to www.bourbonmixer.com.
