Tickets are now on sale for a charity bourbon raffle hosted by Kentucky nonprofit Bourbon with Heart, Inc., featuring 10 prize packages that include a hand-painted barrel head by a Kentucky artist and a bottle of Michter’s 10-year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

With tickets on sale through Wednesday, Sept. 17, proceeds from the raffle will support Bourbon with Heart’s mission to leverage the influence and popularity of bourbon to raise awareness surrounding Kentucky's art community, provide Kentuckians with better access to first-class arts experiences regardless of age, race, class, gender or ability and raise funds for other nonprofits.

The raffle showcases Bourbon with Heart’s Kentucky Bourbon Festival Art Exhibit, which features 10 bourbon barrel heads, each masterfully hand-painted by a local artist. These unique pieces will be showcased at the 2025 Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown.

Each ticket will count as a vote for the purchaser’s favorite of the 10 featured pieces in the exhibit. The artist with the most votes will receive $500, along with an additional $500 awarded to a nonprofit of their choice. A total of 10 winning tickets will be drawn during the raffle, one from the entries for each of the 10 artists. The winners will receive the bourbon art piece they voted for, plus a bottle of Michter’s 10 year.

The raffle is presented in partnership with Elizabethtown-based nonprofit Give 270. Known for supporting the central Kentucky region through charitable gaming initiatives and signature events, Give 270 launched bourbonraffles.org last year to expand fundraising opportunities for a broader range of nonprofits and community initiatives. This marks the second year the organization has partnered with Bourbon with Heart to host a raffle held in correlation with the Kentucky Bourbon Festival Art Exhibit.

“This raffle is more than just an opportunity to win a one-of-a-kind prize; it’s a chance to celebrate Kentucky artists, support meaningful nonprofits and make the arts accessible to more Kentuckians,” said Morgan Hancock, Founder and Director of Bourbon with Heart, Inc. “We are excited to once again partner with Give 270 on another great raffle event.”

The upcoming raffle, officially titled Bourbon Raffles Serial No. 009, will take place live on Give 270’s Facebook page and YouTube channel on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 8 p.m., following Give 270’s weekly Whiskey Wednesdays raffle.

Tickets are $10 and will be available for purchase until 7 p.m. on the day of the drawing. There is no limit to the number of tickets purchased per individual.
