Sazerac Offers Its Top Whiskeys At Auction In Relief Effort for Hurricane Victims

Sazerac, owner of Buffalo Trace, Barton 1792, The Last Drop, and A. Smith Bowman, has placed some of its most prized whiskeys on the auction block to aid the victims of Hurricanes Milton and Helene. In a partnership with Blockbar, the company is offering a rare chance to score bottles and collections of Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, W.L. Weller, E.H. Taylor, 1792, A. Smith Bowman, and The Last Drop—all for a worthy cause.

The auction started this morning and continues through 10 a.m. on November 1^st. Unlike other charity efforts where only a portion of the funding goes to the intended recipient, Sazerac is donating 100% of the proceeds—all going to the American Red Cross to aid in its hurricane recovery efforts.

The auction is being held on Blockbar.com. This is a “no reserve” auction, meaning there’s no minimum price for a bottle or collection, although, bidding starts at $100, and no buyer premiums are being charged. Since this is Blockbar, note that winners will receive tokens, not the actual bottles. The site says the tokens will be available for redemption from March 2025. Here’s the auction list:

1. Double Eagle Very Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon
2. The Last Drop Release 28: Drew Mayville Signature Blend of Kentucky Straight Whiskeys
3. The Last Drop Release 32: Louise McGuane 32 year old Single Malt Irish
4. The Last Drop Release 33: 15th Anniversary 40 year old Blended Scotch
