Attention Bourbon Lovers!

 

Capital Cellars is pleased to announce that on Friday, April 19, 2013 we will be receiving our allocation of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon!  However, we are equally saddened that this allocation will not fulfill the entire request we have received over the years, dating back to 2006.   Since our request list is long and our selection of Pappy Van Winkle is small, we have come up with a fair, safe, and exciting way to handle this situation. oldripvanwinkle10year

If you are interested in purchasing the Pappy Van Winkle Bourbons: 23 years, 20 years, 12 years, 13 year Rye, and 10 year 107 proof,  please show up in person or you may have someone to represent you on Friday April 19th at noon as we host a raffle to purchase some of Kentucky’s finest bourbon.  You may enter the drawing to purchase whichever bourbon you are interested in, or you may throw your name in for all the drawings.  Please remember that Capital Cellars cannot ship, so you must be here in person or have your representative here for you, if you are unable to make it out.
