Virginia ABC to hold online lotteries for Van Winkle whiskey

VIRGINIA (WJHL) — The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (ABC) will hold an online lottery for Van Winkle whiskey products in May and June.

Six products from the Van Winkle line will be available for purchase through the online lotteries.

“The whiskey, often dubbed the hardest-to-find spirit due to its low production, is offered by lottery to ensure equitable distribution,” Virginia ABC said in a release.

The lottery is open to individual Virginia residents 21 and older, plus active-duty military assigned to a permanent station in Virginia.
