The bourbon sells for $59.99.

The lottery for the 10-year bourbon will begin on December 15.

Virginia ABC held lotteries for two other Van Winkle Bourbons: Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 15-year Bourbon and Van Winkle Special Reserve 12-year Bourbon.

Thousands of people entered the lottery for the Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 15-year Bourbon. On the day the lottery opened, Virginia ABC received at least eight times the number of active users typically on their website.

Winners will be selected in a random drawing from all entries accepted during the entry period. All entries will have an equal chance of winning an opportunity to purchase a bottle.
