We understand that raffle season can be exciting and nerve-wracking but we ask you all to please be patient and let us choose and notify the winners on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

Winners in the Pappy raffle will be allocated bottles based on the order of their selection in the raffle. Winners in the Other raffle will be asked for a "wish list" where you rank all the items available - once all lists are received from the winners we will select your bottle based on the best bottle available on your list when it is time for your selection.

OH MY! What a day!

Our store picks have arrived. With custom artwork by one of our employees (and insanely talented graphic artist)

On the left we bring you a 6+yo High Rye coming in at 126.04 proof that we named "Butter Crunch".

On the right we have a nearly 7yo Bourbon finished in Amburana casks at 109.2 proof. We picked Matt's piece titled "Mysterious" because of its brooding flavors that are perfect for the cold weather ahead.

Both will be open at the bar for samples.

A Rapid Liquors love story:

1) A couple comes in to the store. The wife wants Pinot Noir but the husband wants Chardonnay. Things begin to get heated

2) The devastatingly handsome Rapid Liquors employee steps in and introduces the couple to a new wine that is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir by Vinca Minor ( ). "Oh my God it's the best of both worlds!" They exclaim.

3) They leave united and happy.

4) Try Vinca Minor Chardonnay/Pinot Noir today!
