If you’re a bourbon lover who is always looking for that “unicorn” or special bottle, this raffle is for you.
Elizabethtown-based non-profit Give 270 will host a new charity whiskey raffle with a twist.
It’s called the 20/20 Unicorn raffle. There are 20 prizes and everyone who buys a ticket gets a chance at the first 19, and then all the winning names are put back in with the rest for an additional drawing for the final prize, the unicorn bottle.
A $20 raffle ticket gets you a shot at one of 19 special Buffalo Trace bottles, and then you also get a chance in a drawing for one bottle of Double Eagle Very Rare. Produced by Buffalo Trace, Double Eagle Very Rare is a 20-year-old bourbon, double the age of the standard Eagle Rare 10-year. It comes in a special crystal decanter with two sculpted glass eagles. Very few bottles were released, all individually numbered. This one comes with a letter of authenticity.
Give 270 will draw names live on their YouTube channel at 8 p.m. Jan. 3.
You can buy tickets online at give270.org through 7 p.m. Jan. 3. Each ticket is $20. No limit on how many tickets you can buy or how many will be sold.
Also in the bourbon raffle: Pappy Van Winkle, rare Blanton’s, Weller
Besides the Double Eagle Very Rare, other prizes in the drawing include:
▪ Van Winkle Lot “B” 12 Year
▪ Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year
▪ Weller C.Y.P.B.
▪ Weller Full Proof
▪ Rock Hill Farms
▪ Elmer T. Lee
▪ Blanton’s Takara Red

Give270 hopes to make this an annual auction; the non-profit has raised more than $1 million for community organizations and initiatives.
