“Pappy is rich in lore, scandal and history,” said Erin Grant, corporate affairs manager for the Louisville Division of Kroger, in a statement. “Each Kentucky Wine and Spirits Shop will only receive a few of these highly coveted bottles.”
Customers have to be 21 years or older to enter, and they do not need to be present to win. Each shop will draw a winner at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The winner will have 48 hours to purchase the bottle after they receive the call. Pappy Van Winkle prices range from $59.99 to $99.99.
