Two winners to take home prize packages consisting of Pappy Van Winkle, Old Fitzgerald, O.F.C and Old Forester Birthday bourbons!

The New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC) aims to raise $350,000 for Best Buddies New Hampshire by giving two bourbon lovers the opportunity to win an extraordinary prize package featuring some of the most sought-after bourbons in the world. NHLC is launching the “Buddy Up! Pappy Goes Old School” Raffle to benefit Best Buddies New Hampshire today. Entrants will have the chance to win Pappy Van Winkle’s 10-year, 12-year, 15-year, 20-year, and 23-year bourbons, in addition to the rare collections of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series, Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, and O.F.C – Old Fashion Copper Distillery, the original name of Buffalo Trace Distillery–representing a combined secondary market value of nearly $65,000.

NHLC will expand this year’s raffle to 3,500 tickets and include limited-release bourbons, including the 8-, 9-, 13-, 14- and 15-year expressions of the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon Decanter Series, Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, and rare releases of 1994 and 1995 O.F.C Old Fashion Copper Distillery Bourbon Whiskey.
