ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. – Elizabethtown-based nonprofit Give 270 has announced that ticket buyers for Round 17 of their weekly Whiskey Wednesdays raffle series will now have a chance to win an exclusive bourbon set hand-selected and signed by comedian Jim Gaffigan.
The one-of-a-kind collection features a full vertical of single barrel selections chosen personally by Gaffigan, complete with commemorative decals and his signature. The lineup includes:
- Old Forester Single Barrel (128.8 proof)
- Bardstown Bourbon Company Single Barrel Finished Rye (124.8 proof)
- Nashville Barrel Company Bourbon (120.2 proof)
- Buzzard’s Roost Toasted Single Barrel (112.2 proof)
- Peerless Kentucky Straight Bourbon (113.3 proof)
In addition to this completely unreleased set of bottles, the prize will also include one of Gaffigan’s own personal bottles of Fathertime Middle Child Mystery: Empty Nester Strength (121.4 proof). The prize package will also include a signed and framed show poster, plus four tickets to see an upcoming Jim Gaffigan show, including a backstage meet and greet with Gaffigan.
The collection correlates with a recently-released bourbon-focused Jim Gaffigan standup comedy special, which was filmed in Louisville and is now available to view on Gaffigan’s YouTube channel. Give 270 is one of six nonprofits selected to receive the 6-bottle set. Gaffigan is the co-founder of Fathertime Bourbon, a line of small-batch bourbon he cofounded with college friend Stu Pollard in 2024.
“We at Give 270 are thrilled to be one of the nonprofits selected to give away this incredible prize package,” said Eric Clemens, chairman of Give 270. “The chance to win this one-of-a-kind bourbon set, paired with an opportunity to see Jim live, is an awesome way for our community to have fun while giving back.”
In addition to the Jim Gaffigan prize package, ticket buyers in Whiskey Wednesdays Round 17 continue to have the chance to win “Pappy” prizes hidden behind 12 locker doors, plus the chance to win the round’s ultimate grand prize: a full six-bottle vertical of Pappy Van Winkle, which will be drawn on Dec. 17. Four bonus prizes are also given away each week, including Willet 8-Year Rye MANABOUTTOWN Give 270 Single Barrel, two bottles of Luca Mariano Signature Bourbon and a bottle of Buffalo Trace Give 270 Sazerac Barrel Select 1 L.
All proceeds from this round of Whiskey Wednesdays benefit CASA of the Heartland, an organization that recruits, trains and supports community volunteers to advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children in Hardin, LaRue, Grayson, Breckinridge and Meade counties.
Whiskey Wednesdays Round 17 raffles take place live on Give 270’s YouTube channel each Wednesday at 8 p.m. through Dec. 17. Priced at $5 each, there is no limit to the amount of tickets purchased per individual each week.
