ABC Board to conduct limited whiskey release sweepstakes
8 ABC Stores to offer more than 100 limited whiskeys
Alabama’s allocation of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon and other hard-to-get whiskeys will be available for purchase at eight ABC stores Nov. 9.
Beginning Monday, Oct. 5 and ending Sunday, Oct. 25, Alabama residents of legal drinking age will be given an opportunity to enter the Alabama ABC Select Spirits 2020 Limited Release Sweepstakes, where 100 winners will be drawn at random for each location listed below to purchase restricted quantities of highly coveted whiskey brands.
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. 27 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 any person of legal drinking age who does not have a guaranteed position in line to participate in the 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 2020 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 #58 – 3232 Galleria Cir., Ste. 110, Hoover, AL 35244
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
Due to current COVID-19 protocols, 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.
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 in to three different tables. Once inside the venue, the participant will be able to choose no more than one bottle from Table A (contains the most highly allocated products), two total bottles from Table B (second-most allocated products and must be two different products), and up to two bottles of every other product available in the release or in inventory at the selected location.
In effort to ensure a safe shopping environment, participants are required to vacate the property until their assigned shopping time.
