Sazerac To Auction Rare And Coveted Whiskeys For Hurricane Relief

The "no reserve" auction features Sazerac's prized spirits including Double Eagle Very Rare, The Last Drop, BTAC, and various complete sets of bourbons such as Weller, E.H. Taylor, 1792 and more

Sazerac Company today announced an online auction of some of its most prized and highly coveted spirits to raise funds for the American Red Cross' relief efforts for Hurricanes Milton and Helene. BlockBar, a global marketplace offering access to the world's most sought-after bottles, barrels, and casks, will conduct the auction. On offer are various individual bottles and collections from Sazerac's top distilleries and brands, including Buffalo Trace Distillery, The Last Drop Distillers, Barton 1792 Distillery, and A. Smith Bowman Distillery. To participate in the auction, go to the BlockBar website.

In late September, Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, swept across the Southeast. The catastrophic damage caused devastating floods in Western North Carolina and surrounding areas and led to the loss of more than 200 lives. Shortly thereafter, Hurricane Milton hit Florida's Tampa Bay area causing flooding and widespread power outages.

"Our hearts go out to the families and communities affected by these devastating storms," said Jake Wenz, President and CEO of Sazerac. He added:

Our goal is to help aid the Hurricanes Milton and Helene recovery efforts in cities and states most impacted by the storms. Every dollar raised will go directly to those in need. We thank the American Red Cross for everything they do.

Dov Falic, Blockbar CEO & Co-Founder, noted:

We are honored to partner with Sazerac for this charity auction supporting the relief efforts for Hurricanes Milton and Helene. This represents a unique opportunity for our community to acquire exceptional bottles, some of the finest spirits from Sazerac's esteemed distilleries and brands, while also providing an opportunity for our community to make a meaningful impact during a time of need. We invite all whiskey enthusiasts and collectors to join us in this effort and help support those affected by the hurricanes.

The auction will feature a combination of rare and highly coveted Sazerac products. These iconic whiskeys include spirits sold individually and lineups of fan favorites sold as sets. To encourage maximum engagement from the worldwide spirits community, the auction will be run as a "no reserve" auction, with the starting bid for each bottle or collection beginning at $100.

Below is the full list of spirits available.

The auction goes live on October 24 at 10 AM EST and runs through November 1 at 10 AM EST. Details on the auction and how to bid can be found on the BlockBar website. All proceeds from the online auction will go toward the American Red Cross to aid in their Hurricanes Milton and Helene disaster relief efforts.

Here is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to acquire some of America's most coveted and iconic whiskeys.
