Sazerac Company Launches Unique Fundraiser for California Wildfire Relief Featuring Rare Bourbons
In a groundbreaking initiative, Sazerac Company has announced a charity fundraiser aimed at supporting the ongoing relief efforts for victims of California's devastating wildfires. The company plans to offer bourbon enthusiasts a rare opportunity to purchase three exclusive prize packages, each featuring some of the most coveted bourbons from Buffalo Trace Distillery. One hundred percent of the proceeds from this fundraiser will be directed towards two prominent non-profit organizations: World Central Kitchen (WCK) and Another Round Another Rally.
The Need for Support
The California wildfires have caused immense destruction this season, burning over 50,000 acres and claiming at least 28 lives, while also destroying more than 16,000 structures. Organizations like WCK have mobilized quickly across Southern California, partnering with numerous local restaurants and food trucks to provide urgent relief efforts, including free meals for individuals in need. In just a short span, WCK has served over 600,000 meals to affected communities.
On the other hand, Another Round Another Rally has initiated a Disaster Relief Fund, assisting hospitality workers grappling with lost income and employment due to the wildfires. They have already distributed over $100,000 in financial assistance to bar and restaurant staff impacted by the crisis.
Exclusive Bourbon Offerings
The Sazerac fundraiser features a remarkable collection of bourbons:
1. Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Old Single Barrel Auction: This is the first-ever single barrel of Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year to be made available for purchase, having been specially selected from the aging warehouses at Buffalo Trace. It is estimated that one barrel typically yields around 125 bottles of this exquisite bourbon, making this a highly sought-after item for collectors and connoisseurs.
2. Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Collection Sweepstakes: Participants will have the chance to win a complete set of six unique bourbons from the Pappy Van Winkle collection, which reflects a legacy of bourbon-making that dates back to the late 1800s. The set includes Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, Pappy Van Winkle 12 Year, Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year, Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year, Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year, and Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year.
3. Eagle Rare 25 Year Old Sweepstakes: Another exclusive item up for grabs is Eagle Rare 25, the oldest bourbon released from the Eagle Rare portfolio. Aged for 25 years, this bourbon defies conventional expectations associated with ultra-aged spirits, boasting a rich and intricate flavor profile.
