CWH
Single Barrel Club Year 5 New Membership - $200
Couldn't load pickup availability
This annual membership gives the holder the right to purchase at least 1 bottle of all qualifying Clayton Winehouse (CWH) single barrels. Additionally, it provides inclusion into store raffles for all allocated whiskeys we receive, as well as 1st access to all local collaborations such as Side Project beers and other perks listed below. It does however require a commitment to purchase a series of "core" single barrel picks (max of 4 btls) spread over the course of the membership year.
The Year 5 membership term will run Aug 2025 - 2026.
Over the course of the club year, we typically select around 8-10 store pick single barrels. A max of 4 of these barrels will be labeled as "core bottles" and members are required to purchase them, in order to be eligible for the raffles. These core bottles will be limited to Bourbon and Rye, while other optional to purchase "wildcard" barrel picks may include all types of spirits: higher end whiskey, tequila, mezcal, rum, cognac etc.
Additional membership benefits and details:
1. New Member Bottle: All new SBC members will receive 1 bottle of their choice from the CWH Yellowstone Handpicked Collection Barrels - 102, 109, or 115pf.
2. Allocated items: The majority of all allocated and rare bottles will go into a pool exclusively reserved for purchase by SBC members. (We will occasionally reserve a btl for on-site consumption by the ounce). These bottles will then be distributed in a manner equitable for all members, such as a raffle. To be eligible for the raffles, you must purchase the core barrels that have been released up to that point in the year.
3. Member Party: All members (+1) will be invited to join us for an exclusive membership party at the store. Dates tbd later, with plenty of notice.
4. Discounts/Free Pours: Members will receive 1 complimentary pour from any of the SBC selections each visit in (or $5 off a higher end pour), as well as 20% off Whiskey related events & tastings.
5. Events - We will continue to offer events & btl shares to create even more of a group dynamic. These seemed to be a big hit and I've enjoyed getting to know a large portion of the group.
6. Trips - We will use a raffle system to invite members to join us on barrel selection trips and special events.
7. Collabs - we've had alot of fun with these and the feedback has been great. Expect more so cool stuff for the 5th anni!
8. Membership size - No change here. The goal here is to keep things right around the 100-120 mark.

FAQ's:
Can I have more than 1 membership?
Only 1 membership per person, please. However your spouse, or other family members over 21 are welcome to join.
Do you ship?
We do not currently ship; all bottles must be picked up in store.
Can I have a proxy pick up my bottles?
Yes, please alert us to your proxy and we will save his/her name in our system. We are able to send you an online payment link.
How many memberships are there?
We plan to offer a max of 140 memberships in year 4, we estimate this will mean around 20-30 new slots open.
What barrels will we be getting?
Examples of previous barrels are: Four Roses, Rebel Yell, Maker's Mark, Compass Box, El Mayor Tequila, Jefferson's Ocean Cask Strength, Russel's Reserve, New Riff, Huling Station, Nulu, High West, Weller and many more...
When will bottles be ready for pickup?
Unfortunately, it's hard to pinpoint barrel delivery windows, but we've done our best to spread out the timing of arrival. We will always communicate timelines via email and the club facebook group. 1st btl should be ready mid August (old Louisville).
How will you price your bottles?
All bottles included in the membership, as well as all allocated bottles will be priced at our regular in-store margin and not inflated. Typically a few dollars cheaper than the best retail prices in town.
What allocated items will you get?
Unfortunately, it is difficult to guarantee any allocations at this point, but we expect to have a solid mix of items from both our single barrel and distribution partners, which will no doubt grow over time. Examples include Blanton's, Eagle Rare, Elijah Craig, Pappy, BTAC, Michter's, Rebel Yell 10, Willet, Booker's, Weller, Blood Oath and many more!
