Barrel Club Membership Agreement

Member is entitled to samples from their selected barrel. Samples will be provided from day 1 and each consecutive year. John Emerald Distilling Co. will make every effort to hold samples for members and samplings will be scheduled in advance. Members will receive a sample of the current year as well as a sample from the previous year for comparison purposes. Barrels will be aged a minimum of 4 years. At year four John Emerald Distilling Company will assess the spirits readiness for bottling. If a barrel is damaged or experiences excessive “angel share” loss, the member will receive a comparable bottle/s according to their membership level. In the event of a catastrophic event causing the barrel to be destroyed or lose all the whiskey the member will have the choice to transfer membership to another barrel or except comparable bottles of whiskey as a replacement. John Emerald Distilling Company, LLC retains the right to declare any barrel ready for harvest, particularly in the case of excessive angel share loss. If John Emerald Distilling Company, LLC is sold or acquired by another entity the barrels included in the membership program will not be included in any such sale without the purchasers agreeing to honor the terms of the membership program.

To comply with Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board regulations members can only receive 6 bottles in a 24- hour day. Bottles can be received/purchased at the John Emerald Distilling Company’s premises, but tastings can be held remotely for larger membership levels.
