It’s every whiskey drinker’s favorite time of year. When many of the best-known distilleries around the US release their flagships, not to mention some of the highest rated whiskies start hitting the shelves. The only issue is there is never enough of these releases to go around. Our solution is the Whiskey Draft raffle. (Again this raffle is for a chance to Purchase some of these rare bottles at MSRP)

With the success and the fun of past years drafts we have once again decided this to be the best and most fair way of rewarding our customers with a strong chance of scoring some of this rare whiskey (at MSRP) (This will be our 7th year running this program)

Redstone whiskey week (as we like to call it) will start on Black Friday (November 23rd) and will run though Saturday December 1st.

Rules: For every bottle of 750ml whiskey purchased at Redstone Liquors (Andover or Stoneham) during Redstone whiskey week you will receive one raffle ticket (all same raffle)…

For every bottle of 750s from one of our many Redstone Exclusive single barrel picks you will get 2 raffle tickets: (while supplies last)

BONUS: Any bottles purchased on Black Friday will get 2 tickets per 750ml and 4 tickets for a Redstone barrel pick!

Some of this years Redstone Exclusive barrels that are still available include:

Loyalty Program: Join our loyalty program at time of checkout. This will not only keep track of your future purchases but will reward you with things like access to flash sales, bonus tickets or private raffles and selective holds! All this for being a valued year round regular customer.

On Tuesday December 4th we will draw from the stack of raffle tickets collected to create a Draft order. First overall pick gets their pick of which whiskey they wish to purchase from the pool. Second pick get to chose from the pool of whats left and so on…
The more tickets you have in, the better your chance to get a spot… But note you can only win once.

If we draw your name multiple times you will get moved up in the list. (the folks with the most tickets drawn will move up in the draft based on number of time we pull their ticket). For those that only get picked once your spot on the list depends on the order it was picked.

When called you must make your pick while on the phone with us so that we can contact the next in line with what is avail to them.

In an effort of keeping this moving. If messages are not returned in 2 Hours! we WILL move on to next person and you will get bumped to the back of the line. as due to the number of winners, Prior years lists have taken way to long to contact everyone. If no call back in the same day we will take name off list and draw another.

This list will not be posted online so swing on though and get your tickets today.

For those who are interested, we are going to have a silent Auction (for 5 days only) on a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old bourbon as well as a Yamazaki 2016 Sherry Cask. As many of you know both of these highly rated sought after whiskeys are becoming increasingly harder to find. (Bids will be taken starting Monday Sept 12th through Friday September 16th)

Note: This is a completely different event from our whiskey week which will still take place late November. (will post when details on that event when avail)

We will be selling these bottles at MSRP. 100% of anything that is over MSRP will be given to charity (Dana Farber Cancer research). Bids can be sent to RedstoneLiquors@live.com with Auction Bid in the subject line. You will get an email back confirming your bid but not with a chance to counter. We don’t want and will not start a bidding war so please submit your best and final. Answers will not be given for questions about anyone else’s bid or how many bids are received. So please do not ask.

Bids will start at MSRP which are listed below:

Pappy Van Winkle 23 year (2015): $261.99

This very rare, limited edition bourbon takes generations of distilling know-how to produce. Only the most careful and expensive distilling method can be used to create a whiskey as special as this one. Each barrel ages for 23 years and is carefully selected from the heart of the warehouse.

The Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 edition: $314.99

With the 2013 release having been named World Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2015, this is a hugely anticipated release of Sherried Japanese whisky. Just 5,000 of these sought-after bottles will be available worldwide.

Thank you as always and we look forward to raising money for a good cause.

Cheers!
