A Rare Bourbon Bottle Raffle Experience - Can We Win The "Privilege" To Purchase?

[@ItsBourbonNight]

🥃The drawing is closed and the winner is @robmeadows! Congrats Rob & thanks to everyone for watching & participating! If you receive a message from an account that looks like us, BEWARE! There was only one winner so any communication stating that you've won is a SCAM. We'll never ask for your payment info! Feel free to report any comments or messages you see like this :)

[@jessekrukowski7914]

Congrats Rob! Enjoy that glen that holds WLW so well ;p

[@RobMeadows]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Love you guys.

[@njsmwalker]

👌👌

[@BourbonNRyeGuy]

I received a message stating I had won and asked me to text a number had a feeling it was a scam. Stay vigilant! Congratulations

[@Dennis_The_Bourbon_Dad_VA]

I wish more ABC/liquor store all did it this way when it comes to the high end bottles. I also appreciate the honesty of the people you interviewed. I also like the O/P/C diagram you displayed. I never thought of it that way.

[@Mowntandewey]

I like when ya’ll share the disappointing parts of bourbon acquiring. It lets us know we’re all in this together.

[@equalopportunityguns]

Congrats on the WLW! Well deserved for all the hard work you do to entertain us! If I could get any of those bottle it’d definitely be Eagle Rare 17. Totally would open it with my wife for a special occasion, and then share it!

[@derekholley5638]

Always enjoy your content! BTAC is at the top of my list of bourbons I would love to try one day. Hope someday I get the chance. Thanks for sharing your experience, guys!

[@noqueens8005]

I've got some nice words for the "$3,000" guy...

[@QCynic]

Honestly impressed with the honesty of the people in line, feels super refreshing to hear the different opinions

[@izakhayda628]

I love these whiskey hunting and adventure videos. I live in Utah which is a controlled state so it’s fun to live vicariously though you both. Keep up the great content 🙏

[@muscles641]

Very fun and informative! Congrats on the WLW. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffreylenhart9831]

Great post. Gotta admire someone willing to stand in 20 degree weather for a chance to win, and then being gracious in sharing with others. Beyond kind.

[@danherman7384]

Much love to y’all for sharing the positive vibes with the bourbon community! So grateful. 🙏🏻

[@joeysymonds738]

Cheers to you all for sharing your win with the community. I don't see many raffles like that in Iowa.

[@joryknowlton7574]

You might ask at your local Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits. Usually the 2nd Saturday of the month most who do the raffle hand out tickets at 9:30am start drawing numbers at 10:00am They don't all hold the allocated raffle but many of them do!

[@joeysymonds738]

@@joryknowlton7574 Thanks! I haven't seen any near me in the DSM area hold them.

[@joryknowlton7574]

@@joeysymonds738 They really don't say much about them. Ask for your wine and spirits manager, then ask how they handle allocated bottles. I'm willing to bet they are holding the raffles.

[@dustyrobbins4550]

We went to a raffle this past weekend for some pretty shelf available stuff but we had fun and got to meet and talk to loads of new people.

[@scottbarnas5060]

Thank you for being generous to other bourbon fans! Awesome to see you guys spreading the love. Cheers!

[@ericphillips7090]

You guys do a great job showing the reality of bourbon hunting, along with all the positives and negatives. Love your candor.

[@kipperinsurance8157]

My wife and I love watching you two! We learn a lot by your honest reviews of bourbon and enjoy how you present different viewpoints. Keep up the good work!!!!! Cheers!

[@jennihobgood114]

Thanks for taking us with you on a raffle. Great job explaining the process and the pros and cons. BTW, anytime we go to a raffle, we don't leave home without our It's Bourbon Night Glencairns for the tasting bar.

[@BourbonBender]

So cool that you guys are sharing a sample of WLW. I like the folks in the video that say they will crack their bottle and share it with others. Whiskey is for enjoying with friends and family!! Cheers!!

[@josha1536]

Love the show and content. Especially the Louisville trip! Downloaded it and saved it because y’all ended up planning our trip for us! Thx!!

[@mindfulcakes8105]

Thank you guys so much! i have learned so much from you, and greatly enjoy your videos. :)

[@amace020]

Your channel is one of my favorites to watch, especially when it comes to bourbon knowledge. Thanks for making such wonderful content for your subscribers.

[@marklee9374]

Great video! Finally, the outside shots allowed us to figure out which Liquor Barn you guys go to when we visit the Lexington area!

[@padave7505]

Enjoyed the video. Loved to see that when the bourbons gods smiled on you, you decided to share your good fortune with the host of the raffle, friends who missed out on winning and your YT community. Cheers!

[@kyle_ramey]

Always open them and share every bottle with great friends and family. Thanks for sharing with your community as well! 👍🥃

[@Rick-ue5kc]

Great show. Nice to see how people can get their hands on some really nice bottles. And thanks for sharing the video and the sample.

[@joelcabatic68]

Thank you kindly for sharing the timely tips and both my wife and I are enjoying the great value of the merchandise

[@sambohannon9840]

Lucky duck with the second raffle WLW win! I've been hunting for a bottle for ~2 years since I had a $26 pour at a bar in SLC, Utah. What a find! Love your channel!

[@michelerivera6183]

Congrats on your win! I think it's wonderful y'all want to share. I've bought so many bottles of bourbon because of your reviews lol I enjoy this channel a lot. Cheers!

[@twaveret222]

Appreciate the front row seat to your raffle experience. Regardless of outcome, there’s always good conversation and new connections made. Congrats on the second chance raffle! Mighty kind of you two to open and share, just as it was intended to be. Cheers!

[@trekkingteerex]

Fun video and looked like a great event! Thanks for sharing the experience, and to all the others who gave their feedback too.

[@noahcamp439]

Thanks for the fun video. I’ve been a winner, a loser, and have “wasted” many hours at events like this. I think you did a great job presenting all outcomes in a candid way. Cheers!

[@johnm1076]

My wife and I have really enjoyed your channel. Refreshing to hear the candor of those you interviewed and interesting to get a look at what a raffle is like (we have never been to one). Thanks for your awesome content.

[@luke7805]

What an awesome way to give back to your community! WLW is the HOLY GRAIL of bourbon! And what a sweet glen to go with it! Congrats on scoring that bottle and thanks again for prioritizing your community!

[@chrisbarnes9152]

You guys rock! To raffle this off is very generous of you. I love it. And if I win, similar to a couple of the people you interviewed in the clip, I would share with family and friends!

[@toddolive8164]

Thanks guys. Great video and great channel. Thanks for giving back and congrats on winning the 2nd raffle..

[@Mark8viii]

Great video. Loved seeing the raffle process. I have always wanted to try WLW. Thank you for a chance.

[@keithsmith4944]

Great video. Not sure of anything like this where I live in GA, would be cool, and super cool if you to share this hard to find bottle. 👍🏼

[@nate206]

Well done, y’all. Immediately opening and sharing is all class, and very much in the spirit of our community. Cheers!

[@bourbonboy91]

Cheers I love each of us have different paths in our bourbon journey and your video fully illustrated that. Love it!

[@bradketner7663]

I love liquor barn and that tasting center they have is awesome. Thanks for sharing the experience it was great to see. Unfortunately we don’t get that opportunity out in California but good stuff!

[@danielmartinez4610]

What a hit on that raffle entry! To me, even if you leave one of those big time bottle raffles empty handed, the folks you meet and the conversations you have are a great time at minimum! Cheers!

[@josephcissell217]

Been watching the channel since Best Bourbons Under $25 and it has been a great journey. Thanks for your generosity!

[@geraldgiggs5205]

What an excellent video!! Congrats on your win!! I have had multiple pappies and WLW and WLW is easily the best. Whiskey I have ever had.

[@christopherellis1127]

These types of videos are fun to watch. I wish we had a Liquor Barn like that around here. Thanks.

[@gimmebbq]

I have been watching your channel for a couple of months now and it is one of my favorites !! Keep up the great work !!!

[@raffytorres7015]

Wow! Congrats. I love your channel. I’m new to bourbon and I would love to have that gorgeous glassware ( and the wlw sample too 😊 )

[@tylerdeen2970]

One of the better videos I've seen explaining the current Bourbon scene and the differing motives for those buying. Well done!

[@simbono1]

Another great video. Always enjoy your content. We’ve tried the Wake County ABC lottery each of the last few years, but have never had any luck. Cheers!

[@davonater]

yall are a wonderful light in the Bourbon community, and yalls Tiktoks are amazing!

[@taylorbraswell2535]

It’s awesome that you guys are willing to go to these and film the whole thing and come out with a banger episode

[@DarrellHudson12]

You guys are the best. Sharing the pour with the person that put up the bottle was the right thing to do and not many would have thought of that.

[@adamott507]

I’ve been watching your episodes without subscribing until now. Kudos for the initiative. Really enjoyed an honest representation of a raffle. Keep up the great content.

[@jefforourke4704]

I'm digging the out of office videos. Such as this one, and the Bourbon hunting ones. Keep up the good work.

[@bryansummerson9315]

Great video! We don’t get these types of “live” lotteries at stores here in VA. Awesome luck for you and for sharing with others.🤘🏻

[@carlysurratt5450]

I think this looks like so much fun!! Yeah the cold is kind of a bummer, but the camaraderie is really nice to see!

[@jcam1242]

Thanks for the video. Never seen how a lottery for bourbon goes. Prices were insanely cheap. That was educational and I felt so much envy! Lol

[@unnecessarilyawesome2920]

Great video! Seems like a very fair way for Liquor Barn to give their customers a shot at getting a bottle without breaking the bank.

[@850gritz]

Love that you guys are sharing this bottle in so many different ways and with so many people! If I am lucky enough to win, I will also share the sample with my buds. Cheers🥃

[@richardgrimes9150]

Really love watching your videos and listening to your reviews. You two have the best vibe of the numerous bourbon and whisk(e)y reviewer content creators. Looking forward to more!

[@FFDfirechef]

New time viewer of your videos, excellent quality and information. Look forward to working my way through all your past postings.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks!

[@andycron9885]

Congrats on your win. I won a bottle of 12-B almost 10 years ago, opened it and shared it at my son’s wedding. Great memories. Would love to try a WLW.

[@doublea487]

Thanks for another great episode. I enjoyed learning about these raffles and your model you present in the beginning of the video, that was spot on!! Me personally, I would keep the bottle to enjoy and share but if my wife heard someone make me an offer she would be that little devil on my shoulder whispering to sell it.

[@davidhorn5991]

Congrats on your win! I was lucky enough to be picked to get a GTS from my local Spec’s. Great feeling when you get that call.

[@tomfrank9708]

Congrats on the win guys! Love the channel. Going down to Kentucky next month so your video of the bourbon trail hunt was super helpful to help plan ours as well. Keep up the good work and cheers! 🤞🏼 for the sample and glencarin

[@2eyejack]

Love the video and appreciate your sharing. Recently saw WLW “in the wild” at small local store though definitely not at list price.

[@Parmajohn8]

Very kind of you guys to share your win with so many people. I haven’t been in a bourbon lottery yet but I’d like to try it out. That’s nice that liquor barn had reasonably priced pours to buy so if you don’t win you still got to try something special.

[@Matt_Bykowski]

Another fun one. Thanks for sharing the experience. Congratulations on the WLW. Cheers!

[@apatroneatcharter]

Congrats on the WLW! To this day, a pour of a 2020 WLW shared with my mother at a bar remains my favorite pour of all time (not only because of the pour, but also because of the company).

[@userperson5259]

You guys are awesome... preserving the spirit of the spirit, as it were, with this giveaway. Keep up the good work.

[@tedspradley1672]

Appreciate the full experience provided here, very insightful to see how a big box store does this raffle.

[@Cozaor00]

Loved this video concept. Really enjoy the concepts like this and your bourbon hunting and "This or That" Cheers!

[@vick250427]

I always enjoy a bourbon night video to start the day. Keep up the fanfreakingtastic work! WLW has been on my list as the number 1 bottle to find for a long time. Can't even find it in a bar around me just to sample. 😑

[@cheetomofo8236]

I really enjoyed this video. Part ways through I already wanted to share this with my small group bourbon friends. I enjoyed the open honest little interviews. But in all shows where things are currently. Oh yeah, I liked the diagram too!

[@B.English]

That’s awesome that you’re going to share it with people! Cheers!

[@dchotze1774]

This is pretty cool of you to do! Thank you! I've won the Winkle 10, 12, 15 and a Handy from the VA State Lottery over the past 5 years.....and picked up a GTS in MD for $300. I recommend the ORVW 10 year as one to try if you've never had any of these yet, and will always go to it over the Lot B!

[@BourbonHawk69]

The raffle thing is pretty cool. Very rare to see those in Texas. Usually it’s some sort of FB driven media ploy and people camp out in front of the store for 2 days. That raffle looked like fun. Would love to see that here. Cheers !!

[@bweimer981]

This was a good honest assessment of the current state of Bourbon hunting. Well done!

[@myraphillips351]

AWESOME !!! Congrats guys. 🎉I really enjoyed watching and listening to everyone’s comments.

[@Williameier]

Congrats on the bottle! Glad I found your channel a few years ago and love what y’all do. Keep the videos coming!

[@shpadoinkle4578]

That's very stand up to be sharing an opportunity for people who may not have an opportunity otherwise! Keep up the great content for a great community! 👍

[@paulproudamerican8607]

Beautiful glass with amazing juice!! Very gracious of you two. Very good channel!

[@johnhopka3864]

I have never even seen some of the bottles shown in your videos here in New Jersey. I am always looking out and trying new bottles. My go to is if I see a bottle i have never seen before in a store or its the last one, I buy it to try it. Keep up the good work. Thank you!

[@liquidprescription]

Great video! I've had similar experiences to you guys. I rarely win, but there is always good conversation to be had with other bourbon fans.

[@ccolburn25]

This was actually a very refreshing perspective of seeing a big box raffle. Thanks for that! Keep up the great videos!

[@mattburroughs1577]

Congrats on the WLW, still trying to land my first BTAC. I especially enjoy real-world bourbon hunting and right to buy raffle videos like this one. Keep up the great work Chad and Sara!

[@paul_mari]

I found this video very candid which i appreciate! I love whiskey events but know many hate them, and it's neat to see how store raffle drawings work when I live where it's largely approaching secondary at retail stores. Keep it up guys!

[@ThreeDrinksDown]

My wife and I were visiting Louisville the weekend Liquor Barn did this. While we didn’t make it out to the raffle, we did chat with a couple guys at Evergreen NuLu the day before who planned on going. May have to make a trip up next time… great recap! Cheers!

[@lelandvanwagoner3317]

What a way to score a bottle!! I’m hoping to have some luck with my first big box store lottery this coming March. Love this channel 🥃👍🏼

[@jakedobbs9962]

I love the raffles and the early mornings!! Congratulations on the secondary raffle?… my wife’s number was called and she was able to get us a rip 10… got a George t Stagg from kroger like 3 days before… so alls good in the world… until next year 🤔 lol

[@jporterz2873]

Ha! I've been to that store! I love Liquor Barn. Glad they're local to me in the Louisville area!

[@KenTex71]

I really enjoyed the video as a means of sharing the experience. Especially following the Venn Diagram. Cheers!

[@jeremyenglehart3910]

Love that guys shared the whole process, great interviews and really appreciate your respect for the wide spectrum of bourbon enthusiasts

[@nicksmart9391]

Thanks for all that you do for the bourbon community! Even though a lot of us will never get to taste the bottles that you guys have, we get to experience it through your channel. As always, cheers.

[@cjhopcroft]

Really cool of you all to give back to the community like this

[@ianstine2070]

Seems like a great way to give folks an opportunity to win a bottle. Glad you guys lucked out in the end!

[@tatebehrens1053]

Love the different perspectives brought forward in this video. Thanks for the opportunity!

[@B-Squared-s6s]

Thanks for sharing this experience. It's cool to see such a large gathering of the bourbon community and ability to sample the various sought-after bourbons. The lotteries for these are online here in PA, and no sampling. : (

[@mammothfan19]

Awesome that you ended up with a bottle! Would love to end up with that glen! You guys rock love to see people pay it forward! I say I would drink a bottle if I won a raffle but I understand how hard it is for people to turn down that kind of money.

[@vikes7384]

Great video. It’s always amazing to see the lengths we’ll go to just to get a bottle.

[@hmfunk2000]

WLW has always and still is, my #1 unicorn! Congrats on winning and helping friends out! You guys are very beautiful and tasteful winners!💕

[@dwellingit37]

I got a bottle a decade ago and have longing for it ever since! You two are amazing and sharing is caring. :)
