Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Opens Lottery for 3,705 Rare Whiskey Bottles

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) is conducting a Limited-Release Lottery offering 3,705 bottles of rare whiskeys and bourbons valued between $59.99 and $7,500. Pennsylvania residents and licensees can register until 5 p.m. on August 8 through the Fine Wine & Good Spirits website for a chance to purchase bottles from nine lotteries featuring 10 different spirits, including notable selections like Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition, Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection, and Weller Millennium Straight Bourbon. Each participant is limited to purchasing one bottle per lottery and only one entry per household is permitted, with winners removed from subsequent drawings in the same lottery. The lottery also cautions against illegal resale of purchased products, reminding entrants that selling alcoholic beverages without a license is prohibited under Pennsylvania law. The lotteries will be held in a specific order and include a range of bottles from more affordable options like Blanton’s Gold Straight Bourbon to high-end offerings like the $7,499.99 Weller Millennium. The event aims to provide equitable access to these highly sought-after limited-release spirits for Pennsylvania consumers and licensees.
