Whisky enthusiasts with thousands of dollars to spend may just want to splurge on a bottle of some of the finest at an event happening at a BC Liquor Store in Vancouver later this month.

The BC Liquor Store on W 39th Avenue and Cambie Street is hosting an event in celebration of the release of some rare and highly sought-after Bowmore and Macallan whiskies.

These whiskies are so rare that people can’t just come in and buy them. Instead, ballots to make a purchase at the release will be available on January 25.

Bowmore and Macallan Whisky

The Robbie Burns premium scotch release, featuring Bowmore and Macallan, will take place on January 25 at that one liquor store at 6:00 p.m.

An in-store draw will be held for the chance to purchase some of these limited whiskies. But quantities are limited, with a limit of one bottle per person.

Winners are not required to be present for the draw and they will be called using the number provided on the ballot.

However, winners must confirm their intent to purchase on January 25 and pick-up the following day.
