12 INCREDIBLE RAFFLE ENTRIES — ONE INCREDIBLE REASON
Our newest Dog Ranch Rescue raffle is something truly special.
We have put together 12 separate entries featuring rare, collectible and hard-to-find bourbons and whiskeys, and each one has been paired with a dog whose story represents exactly why this rescue exists.
Some of these bottles are difficult to find. Some are highly collectible. Some have been aged for nearly two decades. And one collection includes all eight coveted Blanton’s toppers spelling B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S.
But the most valuable part of this raffle isn’t what’s inside the bottles.
It’s what every ticket allows us to do for the next dog who needs us.
Here’s a quick look at all 12 entries:
1. Jacob’s Pardon Collector’s Trio — featuring Haggis
Three dramatically different American whiskeys, including an 8-year blend, a rye-forward Tennessee whiskey finished in sherry casks, and an extraordinary 18-year-old high-corn light whiskey at 142.7 proof. A fascinating trio for the serious whiskey lover.
2. Kentucky Peerless Collection — featuring Mateo
A beautiful collection showcasing several sides of Kentucky Peerless, including its classic expressions along with Double Oak and High Rye selections. Rich, bold and full of character, this is an impressive introduction to one of Kentucky’s historic whiskey names.
3. Hancock’s President’s Reserve & Eagle Rare 10 Year — featuring Mrs. Muir
Two sought-after bourbons from the Buffalo Trace family. Hancock’s President’s Reserve brings a smooth, high-rye single-barrel profile, while Eagle Rare 10 Year delivers the beautifully aged richness that has made it one of bourbon’s most recognizable and difficult-to-find bottles.
4. Old Forester Whiskey Row Collection — featuring Panda
A wonderful journey through Old Forester history with five expressions, including 1870 Original Batch, 1897 Bottled in Bond, 1910 Old Fine Whisky, 1920 Prohibition Style and the classic Old Forester expression. It’s practically a bourbon history lesson you can drink.
5. Basil Hayden Seven-Bottle Collection — featuring Goose
Not one or two bottles—SEVEN different Basil Hayden expressions. The collection includes 10 Year, Dark Rye, Subtle Smoke, classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Toast, Malted Rye and Red Wine Cask Finish. An incredible tasting tour through the softer, refined side of American whiskey.
6. Old Soul Tintype Series #1 & #2 — featuring Wulver
Two rare, uncut and unfiltered cask-strength bourbons from Cathead Distillery’s remarkable Tintype Series, created in collaboration with the Music Maker Foundation and honoring legends of American blues music. These bottles are as much conversation pieces as they are bourbons.
7. Woodford Reserve Specialty Pair — featuring Joe Joe
A special pairing of Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked and the Master’s Collection Sonoma Triple Finish. Both begin with Woodford Reserve craftsmanship but take very different finishing paths—one emphasizing deep toasted oak richness and the other layering bourbon with Sonoma wine and brandy barrel influence. And this entry honors our unforgettable Joe Joe.
8. The Blanton’s “B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S” Collection — honoring Rally
One of the crown jewels of this raffle. Eight Blanton’s bottles with all eight collectible horse-and-jockey toppers needed to spell B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S. Finding the complete topper set is a challenge in itself, making this an extraordinary collection. This entry was created as a tribute to Rally, the little girl our entire village rallied around when she needed us most.
9. Four Roses Single Barrel Low-Rye Collection — featuring Mitchie
A collector’s exploration of Four Roses’ famous recipes, including OESQ, OESK and OESO private selections, along with a low-rye expression. Each offers a different personality—from floral and fruit-forward to spicy, rich and dark-fruited.
10. Knob Creek 12 Year & Goose Island Bourbon County Reserve — featuring Tee Tee
Two bottles of Knob Creek 12 Year, 100 proof bourbon, paired with the remarkable Goose Island Bourbon County 2-Year Reserve, an Imperial Stout aged for two years in 11-year Knob Creek bourbon barrels. Bourbon and barrel-aged beer meet in one very special entry—represented by our tiny 2-pound former breeder mama, Tee Tee.
11. Buffalo Trace Three-Bottle Collection — honoring Hercules
Three bottles of the legendary Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey—90 proof and known for its approachable notes of vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, toffee and oak. This entry honors Hercules, the magnificent Dogue de Bordeaux who came to us as a walking skeleton, thrived in Travis’s care and left a forever mark on this rescue.
12. Elijah Craig & Goose Island Trio — featuring Pippa
A spectacular finale featuring Elijah Craig 18-Year Single Barrel, a Goose Island Bourbon County Double Barrel collaboration aged in Elijah Craig barrels, and a special Elijah Craig PGA Championship edition. Rare bourbon, barrel-aged craftsmanship and collectible releases all come together in one exceptional entry.
And THAT is our raffle.
Twelve chances to win something extraordinary.
Twelve entries represented by dogs who remind us exactly why we fight so hard.
Haggis. Mateo. Mrs. Muir. Panda. Goose. Wulver. Joe Joe. Rally. Mitchie. Tee Tee. Hercules. Pippa.
Some survived terrible neglect. Some needed lifesaving medical care. Some found beautiful happily-ever-afters. Some left us far too soon. Every one of them mattered.
And somewhere right now is another dog we haven’t met yet who is going to need us just as badly.
When you purchase a raffle ticket, you aren’t simply trying to win an incredible bottle of bourbon.
You are helping us be able to say YES when that next dog arrives.
You help pay for surgery.
You help fill food bowls.
You provide medicine, shelter and rehabilitation.
You give frightened and broken dogs the time they need to heal.
And ultimately, you give them the chance to become someone’s beloved dog.
Rare bourbon. Real impact.
12 entries. Countless second chances.
Thank you, Village, for continuing to stand behind Dog Ranch Rescue and the dogs who need us most.
Rescue. Rehab. Rehome. Repeat. ❤️
