Beginning this week, several products from the Van Winkle line will be available for the opportunity to purchase through the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority’s online lottery.

The bourbon whiskey, often dubbed the hardest to find spirit due to its low production, is offered by lottery in an effort to create an equitable distribution, according to a release from Virginia ABC.

Customers will have the opportunity to enter online to win a chance to purchase Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23 Year, 20 Year and 15 Year, Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year and Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year bourbons.

Each online lottery entry form will be available for five days. Winners will be selected at random in a drawing from all valid entries received during the lottery entry period. All entries received during each five-day entry period will have an equal opportunity to win.
