Louisville, KY – Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana (RMHCK), which is raffling five Pappy bottles packaged as a flight, is expecting the 1,750 tickets to fly off the shelves during its upcoming bourbon raffle. The raffle kicks-off Aug. 16 and will be held in partnership with bourbon expert Fred Minnick.
Each ticket will be sold for $100 each and 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit families who stay at the House when they travel to Louisville for medical care for their children.
“You can nab five coveted bottles offered as a group and support sick children and their families,” said Minnick, who serves as the organization’s exclusive partner for this charitable endeavor. Minnick personally authenticated each bottle and recently appraised this raffle at $22,000. He also has confirmed all five bourbons’ origins.“Pappy Van Winkle’s value has skyrocketed,” said Minnick. “These prestigious bottles will only continue to increase in value — it’s a beautiful tribute to Pappy’s legacy that they can raise so much money for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana. And, whomever wins these bottles will instantly have one of the best collections in their respective area,” he added.
The flight includes one bottle each of Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year (2018); Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year (2019); Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year (2019); Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year, lot b (2019); Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year (2019).
