"Thanks to the founding members, who took a chance on us back in 2021, our idea to form a real community of whiskey loving folks has become a reality. And because of our members, the 2023 club is going to be better than ever." - Paul Gould, Partner The Monk's Cellar

So what is The Monk's Cellar Whiskey Society? In short, it's a way to leverage our access to sample and purchase full barrels of whiskey (commonly referred to as a “barrel pick”) from some of the best distilleries for our members! A process that the average consumer can't do on their own. For the 2023 club we have already secured some pretty exclusive barrels (including Blanton's, 1792 Bottle in Bond, & Elijah Craig Full Proof, plus one barrel still TBD). These club barrel pick bottles will be released once a quarter, with the first one due out in March. But the club is not just about getting your hands on some cool, unique bottles. It's also about being part of the community. Through regular club events, barrel release parties, educational tastings, or just stopping by Monk's to enjoy a pour or two from your bottles, you'll get to know some truly great folks. Some of whom are just getting into whiskey, while others are seasoned collectors, but we are all connected by our common interest in learning about, sharing, and enjoying whiskey.

The 2023 club has two levels of membership.
