*UPDATED* Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to Hold Second Limited-Release Lottery
42 additional bottles of Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition 2015 for a total of 66 available to individual consumers, licensees in Pennsylvania
HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) will hold its second Limited-Release Lottery on Nov. 2, offering 66 bottles of Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition 2015 bourbon for purchase.
This barrel-strength, non-chill-filtered special batch commemorates the August 2015 retirement of Master Distiller Jim Rutledge after 49 years with Four Roses. Each bottle will cost $99.99. Originally, the supplier made 24 bottles available to Pennsylvania, but the PLCB received notification Friday that an additional 42 bottles were available. A total of 66 bottles will now be available through the Limited-Release Lottery.
In order to participate in the lottery, those interested must be registered customers at www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com with billing information on file through Quick Checkout Profiles. Following registration, participants may opt in to this lottery before 11:00 PM Saturday, Oct. 31.
Because licensees constitute about one quarter of the PLCB's annual sales, 25 percent of the inventory will be available to licensees, while 75 percent will be available to individual consumers. In this case, 16 bottles are available to licensees and 50 are available to individual consumers.
The lottery is open to Pennsylvania residents and licensees age 21 or older who provide both a verifiable Pennsylvania billing address and a Pennsylvania shipping/store address at registration. Any registrant with an invalid or out-of-state address will be removed from the lottery.
Because the PLCB enforces a one-bottle-per-customer policy for its rarest products, only one customer at each billing address can register. Entries will be vetted for duplicative names, addresses and other information, and duplicates will be deleted from the lottery pool. Purchase is limited to one bottle per participant. Lottery drawings will be witnessed by an independent third party, and winners will be selected at random by a computer program.
Participants will be notified by email when the lottery process is complete.

Future Limited-Release Lottery offerings will be announced through emails to customers registered at www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com and will be posted on the website.
The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol and operates more than 600 wine and spirits stores statewide. Taxes and store profits are returned to Pennsylvania's General Fund. Since its inception, the PLCB has contributed nearly $14 billion to the Pennsylvania Treasury. For more information about the Liquor Control Board, visit www.lcb.state.pa.us.
