Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery, Division of Liquor Control launches Rare Spirits Raffle

MONTPELIER, Vt. — For the second year, the Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery (DLL), Division of Liquor Control (DLC) has launched a Rare Spirits Raffle. “The DLC is very pleased to announce this raffle, which is open to Vermont residents and provides the opportunity for winners to purchase one of five very rare whiskies and a 36-year old scotch.” said DLL Commissioner Patrick Delaney. “Our goals in creating this raffle are to provide Vermonters with a fun opportunity to obtain these highly sought-after bourbons, ryes and scotch, and do so in a fair and transparent manner.” Commissioner Delaney added.

Each entry is only $5, and the more you enter the greater your chance of winning the opportunity to purchase one of these bottles. All proceeds from the raffle will go to support Vermont Spectrum Youth and Family Services. Spectrum was founded in 1970 and is a nationally recognized leader whose mission is to empower teenagers, young adults and their families to make positive changes through prevention, intervention, education and life skills services. “A significant component of the DLC’s mission is to prevent underage consumption, and to support responsible use of beverage alcohol. Contributing the raffle proceeds to Spectrum furthers that goal. We encourage entrants to be generous in supporting Spectrum” commented Commissioner Delany.

There are two categories, one for Vermont consumers and one for Vermont Liquor Licensees (restaurants and bars). Winners will have the opportunity to purchase a bottle at their choice of over 76 statewide DLC retail Agencies. Entries will be accepted until Oct. 16 at 11:59 p.m., with the drawing taking place on Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018.
