December 14th at The Coffee Grounds, starting at 2pm. You do not have to participate in the tasting or silent auction to purchase raffle bottles, but you (or a proxy) must be present.

Our end of year allocated bourbon tasting and raffle are here!

We’ve worked with the Chippewa Valley Free Clinic for years and in the spirit of continuing that relationship, we’re going to be donating a portion of the sales of this event to the CVFC. The CVFC offers quality free healthcare to those who have no reasonable alternative. There are all kinds of services they offer: dental, mental health, vision, physical therapy, medication refills, vaccines, and other programs.

How the donations to the free clinic will work:

The CVFC will receive $10 of every ticket sale

We will have bottles on silent auction. All profits from these bottles will go to the CVFC

We will have a donation box available at the event if you would like to make any additional contributions.

We’ll be sampling approximately 20 whiskeys with our distributors. Watch soon for the list of whiskeys we will be sampling and have at special pricing. We will also have some great food pairings for whiskey: bbq pork sandwiches and creme brulee for purchase and free popcorn.

Event Agenda

- 2pm and on: Tasting in The Coffee Grounds

- 5pm: Silent Auction Results

- 5:30pm: End of year raffle where we will draw names for the rare/allocated bottles for

purchase. First name drawn gets first pick, and so on.

How to get entries for the rare/allocated bottles?

You will get two entries for purchasing a ticket to the event

One ticket per bottle you purchase at the event, 2 tickets for Coffee Grounds Barrel Picks

Purchase bottles now (and any bottles you purchased throughout the year) through event time and you’ll get an entry.

Aside from the whiskies being sampled, the rare/allocated bottles will be here in the coming days (they are currently posted in the spirits section of the store if you would like to see them as they are now).

If you do not wish to taste at the event but want to come for the drawing of the allocated bottles, you can certainly do that. There will be a max of 1 rare/allocated bottle per customer.

Tickets for this event will go on sale soon and will be $30 for (5) 1/2oz pours of whiskey. If you would like to purchase additional pours at the event, you can do so.
