Kroger's Pappy Van Winkle bourbon lottery returns: Here's what to know

Amanda Hancock, Louisville Courier Journal

Kroger's wildly popular Pappy Van Winkle Lottery, held annually during the holiday season, is back and bigger than ever.

Billed as "the largest Pappy Van Winkle Lottery in Kroger history," at least 16 bottles of the high-end bourbon will be available at 53 Kroger Wine & Spirit Shoppe locations across Kentucky. The lottery will be held from 4-8 p.m. on Dec. 16.

Shoppers will be allowed one entry per store. Each location will have at least 16 bottles including the following selections:

Pappy Van Winkle Lottery 2023 bottles:

  • Old Rip Van Winkle 10-year-old: $99.99

  • Old Rip Van Winkle 12-year-old: $109.99

  • Old Rip Van Winkle 13-year-old: $169.99

  • Pappy Van Winkle 26-year-old: $169.99

  • Pappy Van Winkle 20-year-old: $279.99

  • Pappy Van Winkle 23-year-old: $399.99

"Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve is regarded as one of the finest bourbons in the world," the Kroger release states. "Its very low production and high demand can make it extremely difficult to find."

The drawings will happen the following day, Dec. 17, and bottles will be sold to the winners on Dec. 18. Winners of the drawings will be contacted by phone and will need to make purchases and pick up their bottle by the end of day on Dec. 20.
