Good bourbon has a way of starting conversations! Starting this week, it’s also helping change lives. Barrel Heads is teaming up with WBKR to support the St. Jude Radiothon sponsored by Window World Owensboro/Evansville, happening Thursday, February 5th, and Friday, February 6th. It’s a great way to bring bourbon lovers together and use that passion to support kids and families fighting cancer.
Here’s how you can be part of it.
Raising a Glass for a Bigger Purpose
Those who know Barrel Heads know this isn’t new. When there’s a cause worth fighting for, the team always finds a way to get involved. Since opening a couple of years ago, they’ve consistently shared their generosity with the community, helping causes whenever possible. This fundraiser is another example of that beautiful spirit in action.
How the Fundraiser Works
Barrel Heads is hosting a limited bourbon raffle with just 250 tickets available. Tickets are $20 each, and every single dollar raised goes directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Sales run through Friday, February 6th, or until all tickets are gone.
The Grand Prize Experience
The grand prize winner will join the Barrel Heads team on an exclusive bourbon barrel pick experience at Four Roses Distillery, Penelope, or another available distillery at the time of scheduling. The winner will take part in the barrel selection, receive six bottles from the chosen barrel, and, when available, the empty barrel itself.
It’s a rare look behind the scenes and the kind of experience most bourbon fans only hear about. #SimplyPriceless
A Night with Van Winkle
Second place offers an unforgettable evening at Barrel Heads featuring a full flight of all six Van Winkle expressions, with half-ounce pours of each. The winner will also take home a bottle of Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, making it a night to remember!
A Shot at Old Fitzgerald
The third prize gives one lucky winner an exclusive opportunity to purchase Old Fitzgerald 11 Year at MSRP. No markup, no chase! Just a fair chance at a bottle that’s become harder and harder to find. I mentioned this one to my husband, a bourbon lover through and through, and he immediately said it’s a rare bottle he’d love to have, and it helps the kids at St. Jude!
