The Best Whiskey Subscriptions Money Can Buy
BY BRIANNE NEMIROFF
Taster's Club
Subscription boxes are a great way to expand your horizons, and if you want to cultivate your whiskey tastes, Taster's Club has one of the best subscriptions around.
Founded in 2012, Taster's Club offers a straightforward experience, with one full-sized whiskey bottle, tasting notes, and cocktail recipes for $69.99 a month.
Flaviar
With one full-size bottle and three 50-milliliter vials, Flaviar is a great whiskey subscription service for enthusiasts who want both an in-depth and a sampling experience.
With options ranging from $80 to $100, four times a year, subscribers can also access limited-edition releases and a 10% discount on curated spirits, from Cognac to tequila.
Pour More
With both scotch and whiskey subscriptions, separated into Intro, Explorer, and Enthusiast tiers, Pour More is great for both beginners and experts.
Ranging from $50 to $130 a month, Pour More includes one full-sized bottle of whiskey sourced from around the world, with tasting notes and a cocktail recipe.
Craft Whisky Club
As a bi-monthly subscription, the Craft Whiskey Club offers either one or two bottles every other month along with snack pairings that highlight the flavor notes.
Ranging from $55 to $95 a month, subscribers can enjoy private barrel releases, tasting notes to learn about the bottle, and access to exclusive first releases.
Shots Box
Shots Box offers a bit more autonomy, sending out five mini sampler bottles every other month. You can also receive a full-sized bottle of the sample of your choice.
The service only offers prepaid six-month and annual memberships from $359.99 to $559.99 but offers access to virtual tastings, private Facebook groups, and in-person meetups.
