Sazerac Barrel Select, a subsidiary of the Sazerac Company, is conducting a charitable fundraising initiative centered around a sweepstakes for a rare bourbon experience.
The program offers the public a chance to win a private barrel selection of the limited Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon, a historically significant expression within the whiskey community. In order to enter the sweepstakes, individuals have to make a $100 donation per entry to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
In addition to the limited Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbo, the prize offered by Sazerac Barrel Select also includes an all-expenses-paid VIP trip to the Buffalo Trace Distillery for the winner and guests, a personal barrel tasting guided by Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley, and a cash prize intended to cover the cost of purchasing the bottles from the selected barrel.
