Names drawn for whiskey release sweepstakes

The registration period has ended, the computer-generated lists are in hand and notification emails have been sent! Now, all there is to do is wait for the lucky 800 customers to take up their positions in line December 10.

Please check your email if you entered for a chance in line. You do not want to miss out on the chance to shop the Alabama ABC Board Whiskey Release Sweepstakes this year.

Lucky winners will have the chance to purchase Alabama’s allocation of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon and other limited-quantity whiskeys at eight ABC Select Spirits Stores on Saturday, December 10, 2022.

Participants must possess and present a valid State of Alabama Driver’s License to purchase these allocated items. The sweepstakes is also open to active military stationed in Alabama who are at least 21 years of age and can provide proof of current Alabama residency.

Sweepstakes winners will be notified by ABC on Oct. 26 and awarded a specific place in line (place 1 through 100) for the event at their chosen locations. Winning a place in line does not guarantee any specific product. 

Each location will also allow Alabama residents of legal drinking age who do not have a guaranteed position in line to participate in a “walk-up” line. The participants in this line will be allowed to enter the store in the order in which they arrived after sweepstakes winners have completed their purchases.

The eight ABC stores participating in the 2022 Fall Sweepstakes are:
ABC Store #4 – 1199 S. Donahue Dr., Auburn, AL 36830
ABC Store #53 – 8115 Hwy. 72 West, Madison, AL 35758
ABC Store #55 – 201 Rele St., Mountain Brook, AL 35223
ABC Store #67 – 160 Baldwin Sq., Fairhope, AL 36532
ABC Store #87 – 6941 Bellingrath Rd., Theodore, AL 36582
ABC Store #102 – 3420 McFarland Blvd. East, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405
ABC Store #175 – 2786 Eastern Blvd., Montgomery, AL 36117
ABC Store #185 – 1641 Ashville Rd., Leeds, AL 35244

These highly-allocated whiskeys will be offered on a first come, first served basis and cannot be reserved or placed on hold. 

Products available on the day of the limited release event will be organized on four different tables. Once inside the venue, participants may choose no more than one bottle from Table 1 (contains the most highly-allocated products), two bottles from Table 2 (second-most allocated products and must be two different products), one bottle per product from Table 3 and two bottles per product from Table 4.

The public is not allowed on ABC store property before 8 a.m. when on-site registration opens for sweepstakes winners and walk-up line participants. In an effort to ensure a safe shopping environment, participants are required to vacate the property until their assigned shopping time.
