WB Liquors & Wine is giving bourbon fans a reason to celebrate as they transition into a new normal amid the COVID-19 pandemic with the announcement of its Pappy Van Winkle auction! The family-owned business will be hosting a seven-day online auction for a flight of the coveted Pappy Van Winkle Collection from May 28 at 10am through June 3 at 4pm. The auction will have one flight available in the greater San Antonio area and one flight for the greater Bryan/Houston area. As of June 1, Bryan is at $8,500, and San Antonio is at $8,100 with even more activity expected in both locations closer to June 3.
The Pappy Van Winkle Collection is one of the most sought after whiskeys in the world and is highly coveted by bourbon collectors. The bid will start at $1,000 for each flight and will include the following spirits:
- Old Rip Van Winkle 10-year
- Van Winkle Special Reserve 12-year
- Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 15-year
- Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20-year
- Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23-year
Proceeds from both auctions will benefit local food banks in the surrounding area of each winner. While bids will be placed online only, the locations for pick-up of the flights will be at 2305 Boonville Rd., Bryan and 9801 IH-10 West, San Antonio. When placing an auction bid, individuals will be directed to select one of these two locations.
