Frequently Asked Questions

I just signed up for a membership and REALLY want last month’s bottle. Can I purchase one?

Unfortunately, each month’s release bottle quantity is made based on the number of members active at the end of the previous month. No extra bottles are available for purchase. 

What if I want 2 bottles?

Purchase a second membership. We have a limit of one bottle per membership. 

Can I add additional public release bottles to my quarterly out-of-state delivery?

Yes! Up to 3 additional bottles can be purchased with no additional shipping costs!

What if the distributor is unable to ship to my state?

Bottles are available for pickup at the distillery. 

I am unable to visit the distillery this month. How long do I have to pick up my bottle?

3 months. We have limited space and unfortunately can’t be an infinite storage facility for members. 

When do I receive a Member’s challenge coin?

Your Challenge Coin will be shipped in the first month of active membership.

Yes! Please note that they must show a valid ID and be 21 or older to receive the membership. 

Can I request a refund after receiving a bottle?

All sales are final. Unfortunately, we cannot issue refunds. 

Is this exclusive bottle quantity a small batch release?

No, the monthly bottles are made exclusively for the members. Small Batch Bourbon releases are a separate product. 

Do I receive a bottle the day a membership is paid?

The exclusive bottling is available the first Friday of the following month.

Why is there a delay in receipt of a bottle?

Each bottling is custom-batched and Members sign up at different times throughout the month.

If having financial hardships, can I not be billed a given month and double billed the following month?

Bottle taxes and various fees are paid monthly by the distillery as part of this process and unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate. 

I’m active duty military and deployed. Can you hold my bottles until I return stateside?

Yes!…and THANK YOU for your service! We are veteran-owned and operated & look forward to welcoming back our brothers/sisters in arms.
