History

From what I can tell, this lottery took place in September last year so it's been moved up in the calendar a few weeks. This year has also removed Weller C.Y.P.B. and Weller Full Proof and has added E.H. Taylor Warehouse C, Weller 12 Year, and Blanton's to the mix of bottles. Prices for the two holdovers is unchanged year-to-year. 

Last year, there were 3974 available bottles and 58,454 entries... which puts the odds at 6.799% or 1 in 15. That makes it the highest odds of winning for any OHLQ lottery since I've been keeping track.

My Take

A no-brainer to enter. All of these bottles are highly coveted and the prices are well below what the market would pay.
