The Barrel Club

exclusive access
premium experience

John Emerald Barrel Club is a unique whiskey and spirits membership where you get to experience your whiskeys as the distillers do. You can reserve memberships to barrels (you can think of them as “shares”) . You will then get to sample the whiskey or spirit in it’s un-aged/new-make form. After that each year you will get to taste the current year as well as revisit the previous year’s sample. This will allow you to experience the spirit as it evolves into a fully aged whiskey, not to mention give you access to the newest releases from John Emerald Distilling Company. Seeing our spirits evolve and mature in real time is one of the best parts about making whiskey and we are excited to share this experience with you.
